PARIS — Prime Minister Mark Carney is now in London as he continues the second half a one-day stop in Europe.

Carney is to have a private meeting with King Charles before meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Carney started the day in France where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron.

It was Carney's first in-person meeting with an international leader as prime minister, and the whirlwind trip to the U.K. and France is his first foreign visit.

Carney says Canada must strengthen ties with France and other allies in the face of geopolitical and economic crises.

He says France and Canada have been reliable partners for centuries, and are now committed to "unwavering support" for Ukraine.
