Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will travel to London and Berlin next week, marking his first international trip since becoming opposition leader. This trip, fully funded by the Conservative Party of Canada, aims to address and discuss trade challenges facing Canada on the global stage. It follows a recent speech in which Poilievre outlined these trade challenges, indicating that international dialogue is a priority for his leadership.

In London, Poilievre will meet with UK parliamentarians and business leaders, and he is scheduled to attend a reception focused on cooperation among Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK (CANZUK). His activities in London also include delivering a speech at the Centre for Policy Studies, suggesting a strategic approach to sharing Canada's perspectives on trade and international relations.

Subsequently, Poilievre will head to Berlin, where he will give a keynote address at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a prominent policy organization. He is expected to meet with German officials and business leaders and visit significant economic sites like the Hamburg Harbour and the Jade-Wesser Port and LNG facility. This trip underscores the importance of fostering international economic relationships for Canada under Poilievre’s leadership.
