According to a statement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office, Singapore is "an important partner in Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy."
The Canadian Prime Minister's visit to Singapore will aim to "strengthen bilateral relations, particularly by boosting Canadian exports and positioning Canada as the destination of choice for investment opportunities."
In addition to talks with his counterpart Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with "a number of key leaders from the private sector."
In 2022, Singapore was Canada's largest direct investment destination in Southeast Asia and its second-largest source of foreign direct investment from this dynamic region. Bilateral merchandise trade increased by 28% compared to 2021.
This is Mr. Trudeau's second visit to Singapore as Prime Minister.
Prior to his visit to Singapore, Prime Minister Trudeau traveled to Jakarta, Indonesia, to participate in events within the framework of the 43rd ASEAN Summit and related meetings. Following that, he will attend the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India, from September 9-10.
