September 24, 2025 – Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister of Canada
The global trade landscape is rapidly changing as the United States fundamentally transforms all of its trading relationships. In this new era, our partners will no longer rely only on the strength of our values but also the value of our strength. We are building our strength at home, diversifying our partnerships abroad, and building a web of new connections to pursue our interests.
To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, welcomed the President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, to Ottawa today to announce the new Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). This is Canada’s first-ever bilateral trade agreement with an ASEAN country.
