Mark Carney

Prime Minister Ibrahim, for his chairing of ASEAN great success this year. So I met and discussed with him, but also with next year's chair, President Marcos, and made that a priority. So ASEAN will play an important role in that.

As well, we will pursue a series of bilateral FTAs, and as it happens, again with the Philippines, we decided today that we would accelerate, both we would pursue a free trade agreement, but on an accelerated basis between Canada and the Philippines. We have a free trade agreement with the EU, we have one, we are of course a core to CPTPP, in fact we have free trade agreements with 15 countries,

jurisdictions around the world, two thirds of global trade. Now some of those free trade agreements operate a little more predictably than others. No prize for guessing which ones. And our strategy is to broaden

and deepen with those partners who believe in rules-based trade, who are complementary to us and who share the same values. Because in the end, you can write a lot down in terms of trade agreements. You know trade agreements well. They're about this thick. There's a number of negotiators I can see in there.

in the front row here, and business people who rely on the letter of the law, but it's also the spirit of it. And having the interests aligned. I'll finish on this, which is, I found it interesting coming into ASEAN this morning, as I walked in, the banners,

The neon banners were with the themes of ASEAN this year, which is inclusivity and sustainability. So its growth with inclusivity and sustainability is very recognizable for Canada and our approach. And that's the type of partnership that will help us realize that diversification. And here are the concluding remarks by Prime Minister Carney. Very powerful indeed. Let's play it. Are there big things you think are going to change? Well, I think it's...

I will quote our host, our ultimate host, the Prime Minister this morning, which is, where's the effect of the old world or the old system is gone, the new one has not yet formed. And so it's a big question and it's an important question because in many respects, those of us in this room will help determine where that is. And what we were talking about earlier is,

Canada Free Trade with ASEAN, CPTPP with EU, that link becoming there, following through on inclusivity and sustainability. The extent to which we actually follow that through, this room literally and metaphorically will help determine the direction of the global economy, or a substantial proportion of the global economy. And because it's ASEAN, because it's dynamic, because it's forward-looking, because it's young,

That sort of shows where the world is going. And so I think it can be incredibly influential. And look, we're out of time. Thank you, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Do join me in a huge round of thanks to Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada.

Sadly, attacks like this are becoming too common across the country. This is an example of how perpetrators of violence continue to threaten communities across our nation. It's our job, the FBI, the Boulder police, and our law enforcement and community partners, to bring these criminals to justice and keep our communities safe.
