During my visit, I saw humanitarian workers providing the basics of life, and met families trying to create a future for their children. Through Canada's support, access to education, and skills training are helping people support their families and achieve greater self-reliance.

For more than 1 million Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, daily life remains difficult. After fleeing violence and persecution in Myanmar, families continue to face immense hardship and uncertainty. Yet, amidst devastation, hope persists.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is dire, with 1.9M Palestinians displaced, 1.2M facing acute food insecurity, and 637K children without sustained access to education. These aren’t just numbers. These are lives affected and futures at stake. Canada will not turn a blind eye to their suffering and will continue working with trusted humanitarian partners to deliver life-saving aid to civilians in need.

As Ukraine continues its fight for sovereignty, Canada remains committed to its future. At the World Bank Group meetings, I reaffirmed Canada’s support for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction. Our proposed 100-Year Partnership sends a clear message: Canada’s commitment is generational.

In a changing world, Canada is stepping up. At #UNGA81, we strengthened global partnerships, advanced priorities from education and health to security, and reaffirmed our commitment to the rules and institutions that help build a more secure, equitable, and prosperous future.

When disaster strikes, Canadians step up. We’ve surpassed our initial matching goal for earthquake relief in Venezuela with @redcrosscanada and @humcoalition, and we’re increasing Canada's match to $7M so more life-saving aid can reach those in need. 🔗 canada.ca/en/global-affairs/…

Canadians are stepping up to support communities impacted by the earthquakes in Venezuela. Every dollar you donate to @redcrosscanada and @humcoalition from June 25 to July 14 will be matched by the Government of Canada, up to $4M, doubling your impact for urgent aid.

Canadians stand with the people of Venezuela as they face the devastating aftermath of last night's earthquakes. Canada is providing an initial $5 million in urgent, life-saving assistance, working with trusted humanitarian partners on the ground to reach those most in need.

Russia has stolen thousands of Ukrainian children, depriving them of their childhoods, their families, and their culture. As Canada continues to help the return of children, we must also ensure they have the tools to address trauma and reintegrate when they come home.

In the face of brutality and terror, Ukrainians are consistently working on reform, recovery, and rebuilding of their daily lives. I met with members of civil society organizations to learn more about their efforts and how best we can continue to support them.

Four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, shattering lives and threatening global stability. Kyiv’s Wall of Remembrance is a stark reminder of the sacrifices of countless Ukrainians. Canada will always stand with Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty.

Ukraine has had the largest number of women in the world involved in active combat since WW2. The women I met in Kyiv at #ArmWomenNow are inspirations, fighting for their country on the front lines and for better supports for women who have returned home.

Ukrainians are emerging from a long hard winter, spent in the cold and the dark, as Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure. Resources like generators that provide backup power are essential. Canada’s support helps provide a lifeline for the most vulnerable.

At the Rehabilitation Forces of Ukraine Centre I heard from veterans, including former prisoners of war, who are receiving physical, psychological and social support. I’m grateful to them for sharing their stories and for defending not only their homeland, but freedom for us all.

Au Centre des forces de réadaptation de l’Ukraine, j’ai rencontré des vétérans, dont ex-prisonniers de guerre, qui reçoivent un soutien physique, psychologique et social. Je les remercie pour leurs témoignages et pour défendre la liberté de tous.

Civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict in Lebanon and humanitarian needs are growing. Today, with @AnitaAnandMP, I announced Canada is providing critical aid — including food, medical care, shelter and water — working with trusted partners to reach those most in need.

Humanitarian conditions in Cuba are deteriorating, and Canada is stepping up to provide relief. Today, we announced that we're accelerating $8M for urgent food security and nutrition support, working with trusted partners to ensure our aid reaches the Cuban people directly.

For four long years, Ukrainians have bravely protected their country from Russia’s brutal invasion. Tonight, alongside allies and friends, we commemorated their courage and resolve. Canada will always defend a sovereign and free Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

Great to be in Ottawa celebrating #IDW2026 with partners and friends. Prosperity is built through partnership — by reducing poverty, advancing gender equality, and strengthening resilience. This #IDW2026, let’s keep building a more secure, sustainable future together.

Good coffee starts long before the cup.
This #IDW2026, we’re launching Coffee for Communities, a project with @TFOcan and matched 1:1 by @TimHortons . This will support sustainable and resilient coffee supply chains, creating benefits from coffee farms to Canadian communities.
