OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to travel to Norway on Friday to observe the Norwegian-led NATO Cold Response exercise above the Arctic Circle.

Cold Response is run by NATO every two years and involves about 25,000 troops from 14 nations training together to perform land, air and sea operations in Arctic conditions.

Canada, the United States, the U.K., Germany, Netherlands, France, Sweden and Finland are among the countries taking part in the exercise.

While in Oslo, Carney is expected to meet with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store to discuss trade, investment, clean energy, critical minerals and the aerospace sector.

The prime minister will also attend the Canada-Nordic Summit to meet with Nordic leaders and talk about ways to enhance geopolitical co-operation.

Before returning to Canada, Carney plans to stop in London to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to talk about defence and the war in the Middle East.
