Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, participated in a virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.

The Coalition discussed ongoing efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and underlined their steadfast support for Ukraine’s long-term security. They committed to ensuring Ukraine’s ability to deter future Russian aggression and to continue exerting economic pressure on Russia. The leaders reaffirmed their support for U.S.-led peace efforts and the proposal of an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. If Russia chooses to reject or delay the ceasefire, the leaders will pursue further and stronger sanctions.

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, issued the following statement on the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV:

“I join Catholics in Canada and around the world in congratulating Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost on his election as Pope.
