“Prime Minister Trudeau will travel to the Philippines to attend the 31st Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Manila. While at the Summit, the Prime Minister will take part in the Canada – Asean Commemorative Summit to review relations between Canada and the 10 Asean countries and identify areas where we can increase collaboration,” the Canadian Office of the Prime Minister said. Prior to his visit to Manila, Trudeau will first attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting in Da Nang, Vietnam. This is the message I will bring to the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and the Asean Summit,” Trudeau said. Trudeau, head of Canada’s Liberal Party, was a newly elected prime minister when he attended the 2015 Asean Summit, which the Philippines also hosted.
