Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron are set to continue discussions on bilateral collaboration this week at the United Nations, following a meeting held just a few kilometres off the south coast of Newfoundland.
The two leaders met on Saturday near Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a French archipelago located off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The meeting focused on areas of mutual interest, though specific details have not been publicly disclosed.
Both leaders are scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, where they are expected to hold further talks on collaboration. The UNGA provides a multilateral platform for such discussions.
This meeting marks an early engagement between Carney, who became prime minister in March 2025, and Macron. The location near Saint-Pierre and Miquelon highlights the longstanding ties between Canada and France in the North Atlantic region.
