Diplomacy on ice: Mark Carney and Alexander Stubb play hockey

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finnish President Alexander Stubb took to the ice for a friendly hockey match alongside the Ottawa Charge team. This event marked a highlight of President Stubb's inaugural formal bilateral visit to Canada. The visit's primary objective is to strengthen cooperation between Finland and Canada in key areas such as trade, defense, technology, energy, and Arctic policy. For Prime Minister Carney, the hockey game occurred shortly after his Liberal Party secured a narrow majority in the House of Commons.
