Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the President of Chile, Gabriel Boric.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Boric recognized the strong friendship and ties between their countries. The two leaders reiterated their commitment to continue working together on shared priorities, including promoting democracy and human rights, increasing trade, creating economic growth that benefits everyone, and protecting environment and oceans.

Prime Minister Trudeau has signaled Canada’s support for Chile’s ratification of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), to ensure that the benefits of trade are more widely shared. The CPTPP aims to advance economic growth that will benefit everyone and create more opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses and Indigenous peoples.

The two leaders agreed to continue to work closely together to advance progressive values. Prime Minister Trudeau denounced Russia’s sham referendums in occupied parts of Ukraine and expressed his support for those protesting peacefully in Iran, especially women.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Boric looked forward to staying in regular contact.
