The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that he will travel to New York City, from September 20 to 22, 2022, to participate in the 77th Session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will continue to work closely with our global partners to grow the middle class and generate economic growth that works for all Canadians by addressing the world’s biggest challenges. As Co-Chair of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Advocates group the Prime Minister will continue to help make life better for people by advocating for strong climate action, the empowerment of women and girls, and reducing inequality. He will advance action on protecting nature and biodiversity, work to ensure that no one goes hungry by addressing the global food crisis, and improve health outcomes for people.
On September 20, the Prime Minister will attend the opening of the High-Level General Debate of the 77th Session of the UN General Assembly.
Prime Minister Trudeau will advance innovative solutions to the global food crisis, including with countries from the Global South that have been the most impacted: He will highlight Canada’s ongoing work to tackle the global food security crisis that has increased dramatically over the past several years and is now further exacerbated by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Later that day, Prime Minister Trudeau will participate in the “Christchurch Call Summit” alongside New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and France’s President Emmanuel Macron where he will reiterate Canada’s pledge to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.
