Ireland enjoys a deep and strong relationship with Canada, a country with which we share many values and are very often of like-mind. Increasingly that relationship has an economic focus.

I offered Prime Minister Carney my congratulations on his election victory and said that I looked forward to cooperating with him and with his new Government in the period ahead.

I have not had the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister in person since he took up his new role but I look forward to doing so at an early date.
