Following the G7 Summit in Charlevoix, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President Macky Sall of Senegal. The Prime Minister and the President discussed their shared commitment to address oceans issues, including both over-fishing and plastic waste.  

The Prime Minister acknowledged Senegal's leadership on regional peace and security issues, and the two leaders discussed the UN peace-support deployment in Mali and their shared commitment to strengthening of UN peace-support capacity more generally.

The two leaders welcomed the substantial outcome achieved at the Charlevoix Summit on women's and girls' education in fragile and conflict-affected states. 

Prime Minister Trudeau commended President Sall for his leadership in co-hosting with France the replenishment conference for the Global Partnership for Education earlier this year.

The leaders discussed La Francophonie, and the Prime Minister reaffirmed his support for Michaëlle Jean in her role as Secretary-General.
