Mark Carney has been circling the globe on government aircraft since becoming prime minister — a part of his efforts to secure latest trade links and investment to double non-U.S. exports in the subsequent decade.
In only the primary month of this 12 months, he visited France, China, Qatar and Switzerland.
The Prime Minister’s Office seldom confirms trips months upfront, and summit plans may change given the present geopolitical tumult. But here’s a take a look at the places Carney might be headed this 12 months:
India
Carney is more likely to visit Recent Delhi next month.
His office said last fall that he had accepted an invite to go to India in early 2026.
India’s High Commissioner to Canada Dinesh Patnaik told The Canadian Press last October that the invitation was to attend a significant artificial intelligence summit in Recent Delhi set for Feb. 19 and 20. Patnaik has since said the trip will happen in the approaching weeks.
Meanwhile, experts on Ottawa’s ties with Oceania say they’ve been consulted a few possible visit to Australia, which could happen as a part of the India trip. The experts didn’t need to be identified since the trip has not been confirmed.
The Canadian Press has asked if an Australia trip is within the works. The PMO has declined to verify any travel that has not been formally announced.
“Additional details in regards to the prime minister’s upcoming international engagements will follow,” wrote spokesperson Laura Scaffidi. “By forging latest partnerships around the globe, we’ll diversify trade, construct a stronger, more independent Canadian economy, and secure more opportunities for Canadians.”
While Australia is a priority country in Ottawa’s Indo-Pacific strategy, no Canadian prime minister has visited there since 2014. Carney said last March that Canada could be buying an Australian radar system to be used within the Arctic.
Brazil
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said earlier this month that Carney accepted an invite to return to his country in April to debate trade.

Carney’s office has not confirmed the trip. Brazil previously stated Carney had agreed to attend last fall’s COP summit on climate change — he didn’t.
Carney has stepped up trade talks on a cope with the Mercosur bloc of South American nations that features Brazil.
G7 in France
France rescheduled its summit by in the future following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump already had plans to attend a mixed martial arts event on his birthday on the White House.
The summit is now set for June 15 to 17 within the Alpine town of Évian-les-Bains, known for its mineral water.
Canadian prime ministers are widely expected to attend summits of the G7, G20 and NATO.
NATO in Turkey
The country, which prefers to go by Türkiye, is hosting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders’ summit within the capital of Ankara from July 7 to eight.
The meeting takes place as Canada partners with European countries to ramp up defence spending as Trump pulls back on his support for the alliance — and after he mulled using force against NATO member Denmark to take control of Greenland.
UN in Recent York
The United Nations General Assembly will kick off high-level meetings on Sept. 22, which likely would see Carney meeting with other leaders and possibly addressing global leaders from the green marble podium.
Commonwealth within the Caribbean
The island nation of Antigua and Barbuda says it’ll host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on Nov. 1-4.
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau didn’t attend the last summit in 2024, which was hosted by Samoa. The location of this 12 months’s summit is far closer and Carney is understood to have a keenness for a lot of things British.
China — and maybe the Philippines and Cambodia
During his visit to Beijing this month, Carney confirmed he’ll return to China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation leaders’ summit in the town of Shenzhen from Nov. 18 to 19.
Carney has not confirmed attending two other summits, that are happening nearby and ceaselessly include the Canadian prime minister.
The Philippines government has confirmed it’s hosting the leaders’ summit of the Association of South East Asian Nations in Pasay City, just outside Manila, from Nov. 10 to 12. Carney said last fall that Canada and the ASEAN bloc plan to finalize a trade deal before that summit.
Cambodia is about to host the Francophonie summit within the tourism hub of Siem Reap. Local media have suggested the summit is scheduled for Nov. 14 to 16.
Trump’s G20 in Miami
U.S. President Donald Trump will welcome leaders to Miami on Dec. 14 to fifteen for the G20 summit, after boycotting last fall’s meeting in Johannesburg.
The invitation list isn’t final yet. South Africa might be snubbed for going against Trump’s wishes by releasing a joint communique during Washington’s boycott based on three themes he rejects: equality, sustainability and solidarity.
The summit will happen just over an hour’s drive from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Experts will probably be watching to see which experts, institutions and guest nations Trump invites as he pushes back on multilateral institutions just like the United Nations.
Japan
Ottawa has said repeatedly that Japan is a significant priority country for Canada, and officials briefing reporters on Carney’s trip to Asia last October said he almost definitely would have visited Tokyo if Japan had not been within the means of selecting a brand new prime minister at the moment.
Japan is now heading right into a snap election, set for Feb. 8.
Dominican Republic
The Summit of the Americas was set for last December in Punta Cana, however the Dominican Republic suddenly postponed the event a month before it was set to begin. The federal government says it’ll happen in 2026, but analysts fear it may not happen in any respect as a result of disruption within the Western Hemisphere.
The organizers had announced that they might not invite the leaders of three countries Trump has had conflicts with — Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela — which prompted talk of boycotts by other nations.
Since then, america’ armed capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has rattled the region.
Canada’s prime minister has attended all nine of those summits, which occur roughly every 4 years.
Ukraine
Carney visited Kyiv last August; as usual, that visit was not made public upfront as a result of security concerns. Trudeau had visited Ukraine annually since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
