  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nCanada and the Philippines signed agreements today on energy, natural resources, labour and tourism, during a high-level visit in Vancouver.\n\nPrime Minister Mark Carney welcomed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to Canada, in the first visit of the country's head of state in more than a decade.\n\nCarney says Filipino-Canadians are \"at the very heart\" of Canada, and both countries can benefit in energy security and critical minerals through a strategic partnership.\n\nAsia Pacific Foundation vice-president Vina Nadjibulla wrote in an analysis that the Marcos visit demonstrates Canada's four-year-old Indo-Pacific strategy is starting to yield results.\n\nShe says Carney has visited leaders abroad, but having them come to Canada shows a real interest, particularly as the Philippines works with Ottawa on trade, maritime surveillance and energy.\n\nCanada is currently negotiating a trade deal with both the Philippines and a broader bloc of southeast Asian nations, and Carney hopes to conclude those talks ahead of his visit to Manila in November.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published July 2, 2026.\n\n_By Dylan Robertson | Copyright 2026, The Canadian Press.
