US EditionPrime Minister Carney’s first trip to Asia starts this week with ASEAN, APEC summits
Prime Minister Carney aims to diversify trade beyond the U.S. and engage with ASEAN and APEC nations amid ongoing tariff disputes, with a goal to double exports in 10 years.
- On Oct. 24, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney leaves today on his first Asia trip, a nine-day mission starting at the ASEAN summit in Malaysia and including APEC in Gyeongju, South Korea.
- Carney says his core strategy is diversifying trade, pushing to broaden partners beyond the U.S. while negotiating with the 10-nation ASEAN bloc and responding to tariff concerns from Western premiers and business leaders.
- In Singapore, Carney will meet Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, and officials said a bilateral talk is hoped for, while he is expected to visit a shipyard about 120 kilometres from Gyeongju.
- Premiers and business leaders want tariff disputes addressed as both sides aim to sign the ASEAN trade deal early in the new year, while U.S. President Donald Trump's attendance complicates talks.
- Observers say the region is `kind of the epicentre of the U.S.-China competition`, as Nadjibulla noted, with nations avoiding dependence on either power, and Canada's regional strategy launched late 2022 frames the visit.
