It’s an honour and a pleasure to gather with you once again here on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Nation.

We’ve truly enjoyed spending time with you over the past few days and deeply appreciate your interest in learning more about Canada’s history.

This visit felt less like diplomacy and more like catching up with an old friend!

The discussions we’ve shared will go a long way toward making both our countries—and our peoples—stronger.

Together, we’re deepening our economic and security partnerships, building on the rich ties and shared values that unite us.

Partnerships like ours are of great importance right now, and for the future.

So, thank you for your collaboration.

To old friends. Cheers!
