Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to travel to India, Australia and Japan from February 26 to March 7, an official statement from Carney's office said on Monday. 

The focus during his visit will be on businesses across trade, energy, technology and defence, the Canadian government statement said. "Prime Minister Carney will first visit Mumbai, then New Delhi where he will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The leaders will focus on elevating and expanding the Canada-India relationship, with ambitious new partnerships in trade, energy, technology and artificial intelligence (AI), talent and culture and defence. He will meet with business leaders to identify investment opportunities in Canada and



create new partnerships between businesses in both nations," the statement read. This will be Carney's first visit to India after he assumed office after Justin Trudeau.
