No one country, no matter how powerful, can manage today’s challenges alone. Canada believes in cooperation because success breeds success. In the past month, Prime Minister Carney met with international partners at home and around the world to advance our shared interests.

🟠 #16DaysOfActivism starts November 25th. This year, the focus is on tech-facilitated gender-based violence (TGBV)—from online harassment to digital stalking. As technology evolves, so do the risks. We will stand up to #EndSGBV #Orangetheworld #EndVAW.

There are huge opportunities for Canada and Norway to collaborate on energy, defence, and clean technology. At the G20 Summit, @jonasgahrstore and I discussed how we can work together to build up these industries for our workers and businesses.

For Remembrance Day, we laid a wreath at Oslo Western Civil Cemetery to honour the 8 Canadian service members among the 101 Commonwealth casualties resting here—many lost in WWII’s final days. #CanadaRemembers

Happy to volunteer at @Riddu and having opportunity to take in the presentation of this year’s Northern Peoples — the nēhiyawak (Cree). A powerful reminder of how deeply Indigenous peoples connect with and belong in this breathtaking northern landscape.

Had a good conversation today with Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. Norway and Canada share a long history of close cooperation, especially on issues like Ukraine, The Middle East, the Arctic, climate and energy. I look forward to continue the good dialogue with PM Carney.

Norway expresses its condolences and deepest sympathy with the Canadian people after the horrible incident in Vancouver. Our thoughts are with all Canadians and especially those who have lost loved ones.

No child should be kept apart from their loved ones. Yet Russia has forcibly separated thousands of Ukrainian children from their families. Canada and our partners are working urgently to bring them back home: international.gc.ca/world-mo… #WorldChildrensDay #BringKidsBack

Today we solemnly mark 1,000 days since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine and almost 4,000 days since the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. Canada will continue to #StandWithUkraine for as long as it takes.
