<br>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif">Canada and Australia share common interests that extend beyond the historic,
economic and people-to-people ties. These include shared goals in ASEAN and global
forums such as the WTO. During the visit, the two leaders will have the opportunity to
meet and discuss key issues of interest to both countries.</span></span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif">Australia is a significant and strategic partner to Canada on a wide range of regional
security issues, including cooperation in counter-terrorism activities. Australia and
Canada work closely together to promote a coherent and robust system of global trade,
as well as economic cooperation in key international organizations such as the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and many UN agencies.</span></span></p>
<br>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif">This will be Mr. Downer’s first official visit to Atlantic Canada with Mr. MacKay as
