Carney touts 'right partnerships' in Arctic as he welcomes Norwegian PM to Ottawa
Carney is courting deeper defence and investment ties as the two leaders expand cooperation on Arctic security, energy, critical minerals and space.
- On Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney met Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to discuss strengthening bilateral ties.
- Carney visited Norway in March, becoming the first sitting prime minister since 1980 to travel to the Nordic country, where the two leaders pledged to advance collaboration in Arctic security, energy, and critical minerals.
- Deepening defence ties with Norway remains a priority as the Prime Minister seeks investment from the country's massive, petroleum-based sovereign wealth fund to bolster Canadian economic interests.
- Discussions include potential "Associate membership" in the trade bloc in Europe, as Carney looks for closer ties with Europe to leverage the regional economic model.
- For three decades, Norway has maintained a deal granting mutual market access for goods and services with the trade alliance in Europe, despite not being a member.
