PM Phuc is expected to deliver his remarks at this year’s expanded G7 Summit and have bilateral meetings with leaders to the Summit.

Meanwhile, PM Phuc’s visit to Canada, which takes place on the occasion of the 45th founding anniversary of diplomatic ties (1973-2018), aims to foster the new framework of the bilateral comprehensive partnership reached during Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s official visit to Viet Nam in November last year.

During the visit, PM Phuc will hold talks with his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau and meet with Canadian business community.
