Canadian Prime Minister lauded for sweeping win in Liberal Party elections

🇻🇨 HANOI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính extended his congratulations to newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Joseph Carney on April 29, 2025, following his Liberal Party's election victory.

Carney, having joined the political sphere in early 2025, emerged as the leader of the Liberal Party amidst compelling federal elections.

With a distinguished career spanning both the financial and political worlds, Mark Carney is a familiar figure in international circles. As a seasoned economist and banker, Carney worked at the renowned Goldman Sachs before delving into central banking. His remarkable career ascent saw him serving as the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and, subsequently, the first non-British governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.

Mark Carney's political career took an unexpected turn in March 2025, when he was elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. This groundbreaking transition culminated in his subsequent appointment as the 24th Prime Minister of Canada, succeeding Justin Trudeau, marking a significant shift away from his career in finance.

Carney attended Harvard University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in economics in 1988. He later pursued further education at the University of Oxford, where he earned an MPhil and DPhil in economics. With a diverse and impactful career under his belt, Carney seems poised to navigate the political landscape of Canada.
