Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday outlined Canada's three priorities one week before the meeting of world leaders, which will take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17.

The Canadian government wishes to "mobilize the support of its partners and ensure that concerted measures are taken" to carry out the missions it considers to be priorities.

Here are the three axes of the Canadian program:

- Ensure the safety of communities and the world

- Improve energy security and accelerate the digital transition

- Establishing the partnerships of tomorrow

Mark Carney wants to strengthen peace and security around the world, curb foreign interference and transnational crime, and fight forest fires.

The Canadian Prime Minister also believes it is urgent to strengthen critical mineral supply chains and use artificial intelligence and quantum technologies to stimulate economic growth.

Ultimately, Mr. Carney wants to rely on private investment to build stronger infrastructure, create good jobs and open "dynamic markets" to foster competition.

Several other issues are also scheduled to be addressed at the G7 summit, including the war in Ukraine and other conflict-affected countries.

"Canada has what the world wants and the values ​​to which everyone aspires. The G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis is an opportunity for Canada to work with reliable partners to address challenges unitedly, with vigor and determination. Canada is ready to play a leading role," the Canadian Prime Minister said in a press release.

The White House has already announced that US President Donald Trump, who doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum this week, will attend the G7 summit.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also indicated that he would attend the meeting, after receiving an invitation from the new Canadian prime minister.
