OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to leave Monday for a weeklong trip to Asia, where he will make his first official visit to South Korea and atte
The trip comes at a time when the world is collectively facing security threats and economic uncertainty magnified by climate change.
As G7 host, Japan says it chose to have the summit in Hiroshima to symbolize its “commitment to peace” during a time of growing risk of weapons of mass destruction and an ongoing war in Ukraine. “I think it’s going to be one of the most successful summits ever since they started in 1975,” said John Kirton, a political science professor who heads the G7 research group at the University of Toronto.As they reflect on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, face an uncertain economic outlook and work to avoid a climate crisis, Kirton says the G7 leaders have no shortage of issues to tackle.
In a statement Trudeau provided to Kirton’s group before the summit, the prime minister links addressing climate change with increased security. “Canada can be a very ideal partner for Korean companies to manufacture electric vehicle batteries and battery components,” he said.
