Carney plans to visit Turkey this month: Reuters
The visit would be the first standalone bilateral trip to Turkey by a Canadian prime minister in decades, as trade ministers move to speed talks.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to visit Turkey later this month to meet President Tayyip Erdogan, marking the first dedicated bilateral visit to the country by a Canadian leader.

- During the visit, leaders may discuss potential energy partnerships involving Canadian-designed CANDU reactors, building on free-trade negotiations formally launched at the NATO summit in July.
- Trade ministers agreed this week to accelerate talks ahead of the leaders' meeting, aiming to expand economic ties beyond the $4.34 billion in total merchandise trade recorded in 2025.
- Erdogan, Turkey's leader of 23 years, has faced criticism from rights groups regarding a crackdown on political opposition and the LGBTQ community, which the Turkish government denies is politically motivated.
