UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has vowed to “deepen” the relationship between the United Kingdom and Canada after it was confirmed that Mark Carney will be Canada’s next Prime Minister.
The former Governor of the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada beat three rivals in the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership contest on Monday night, receiving an overwhelming majority of the vote from party members.
Carney is expected to be sworn in as Prime Minister in the coming days and will lead the Liberals into the next general election, which is expected to be called in the coming weeks.

Starmer responded to Carney’s victory pledging to work with the incoming Canadian Prime Minister on “deepening the UK-Canada relationship together.”
In a statement on X, Starmer wrote: “Congratulations to Mark Carney on his appointment as Canada’s new prime minister…I look forward to working closely with him on shared international priorities, including in the G7, and to further deepening the UK-Canada relationship together.”
The comments come as Starmer is urged to visit Canada this week to stand against Trump’s recent threats, and UK defence officials suggested Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom form their own CANZUK sub-committee of the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance to gain autonomy from the U.S.A. in security matters.
