President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, has met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to explore new investment opportunities aimed at strengthening economic cooperation between Canada and Africa.

During the meeting, both leaders examined ways to expand investment opportunities within Canada while considering how the Dangote Group, alongside other African investors, could contribute to Canada’s economic growth. They also discussed Canada’s Africa Strategy and the importance of promoting stronger two-way trade and investment between Canada and African nations.

Dangote highlighted the significant opportunities available for greater collaboration between African and Canadian businesses, stressing that deeper economic partnerships could stimulate employment, innovation, industrial development, and long-term prosperity across both regions.

“Strategic partnerships between Africa and Canada have immense potential to drive sustainable growth and create value for both regions. There is a strong case for increasing investment, fostering innovation, and building mutually beneficial commercial relationships,” Dangote said.

As part of his engagements in Canada, Dangote also held talks with Ahmed Hussen, Member of Parliament and Chair of Canada’s Foreign Affairs Committee. Their discussions centred on strengthening Canada-Africa economic relations through increased trade, investment, and long-term strategic cooperation.

The meetings reflected a shared commitment by both sides to deepen economic ties between Canada and Africa while advancing partnerships designed to support inclusive growth and sustainable development.
