Carney started the day in France where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron.

It was Carney's first in-person meeting with an international leader as prime minister, and the whirlwind trip to the U.K. and France is his first foreign visit.

Carney says Canada must strengthen ties with France and other allies in the face of geopolitical and economic crises.

He says France and Canada have been reliable partners for centuries, and are now committed to "unwavering support" for Ukraine.
