He cited the legacy of former South African president Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison for his opposition to the apartheid system of racial segregation. Carney quoted Mandela as saying a societal renaissance required confronting problems that go beyond any one country.

"His words spoke to a moment of rebirth in South Africa, and today they can guide how we lead the way forward, from this moment of rupture," Carney said.

He was speaking after most leaders of the G20 agreed to a joint declaration that touched on climate change and gender equality, despite U.S. President Donald Trump staging an American boycott of the Johannesburg summit.

Carney saluted countries for releasing a joint document, noting it stems from "a very broad process that takes an entire year" and not just the final summit.

He noted the governments who signed on represent three-quarters of global population, and two-thirds of the world's economic output.

"I look at it more from who shows up, who engages, who does the work," Carney said.

He said the American absence was "a reminder that the centre of gravity in the global economy is shifting," with economic and political power being diffused toward multiple countries, including the Global South.

"Our task is to ensure that Canada doesn't only endure this shift, but that we prosper under it," he said.

At a formal bilateral discussion Sunday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he and Carney agreed to revamp negotiations for a trade deal, which have stopped and started since 2010.

Carney told reporters a comprehensive deal would have a lot more benefit than the talks toward a sectoral agreement that Canada suspended in 2023 after the assassination of a Sikh activist near Vancouver.

The prime minister also co-launched a partnership Saturday with India and Australia on emerging technologies. That same day, he was part of talks between the European Union and a Pacific Rim trade bloc called the CPTPP, which could boost trade between countries trying to escape coercive practices such as American tariffs and Chinese import bans.

On Sunday, Carney announced that Ottawa and South Africa agreed to launch discussions for an investment-protection pact, aimed at getting companies in both countries to work together more on clean energy and the responsible sourcing of critical minerals.

He also announced that FinDev Canada would open an office in Cape Town next year to advance the agency's work supporting private sector-led projects in emerging countries. That might help South Africa with the large infrastructure projects it has been developing so far with the help of countries like China.

The news came days after South Africa's envoy in Ottawa told 国产诱惑福利 his country was angling toward a "wine for gas" deal that would have his country sell higher-quality wines in Canada while importing liquefied natural gas.

At the summit, Carney also spoke with Angolan President Jo茫o Louren莽o in his capacity as chair of the African Union, about "a possibility that we could work something out" in partnering with the continental free-trade area that is taking shape, but he said he didn't want to "overplay" the idea.

"Our new government is working for Canada, to move from reliance to resilience by building a broad and dense web of new partnerships, and creating new economic opportunities that will make Canada stronger both at home and abroad," Carney said.

But Carney's visit comes amid mounting concerns over Canada's engagement with Africa, where he spent roughly 48 hours in a visit to South Africa and no other country on the continent.

On Friday, Canadian officials in Johannesburg announced Ottawa would for the first time ever cut back its support for the Global Fund, a major health organization that tackles infectious diseases like tuberculosis and HIV.

That follows a cut to foreign aid in this year's budget, which the government insists is meant to align Ottawa with spending that took place before the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March, the Liberals released an Africa strategy that seeks to go beyond viewing the continent as an aid recipient, by preparing Canadian companies to profit from Africa's young population and booming economies.

But the Trudeau Liberals released the strategy after years of delays and just days before calling an election. Ottawa allocated no new funds to the strategy, while it set aside $2.3 billion for the 2022 Indo-Pacific strategy.

Canada's special envoy for Africa, Ben Marc Diend茅r茅, told the Senate on Oct. 30 that the strategy is hindered not just by the lack of clear funding, but because he has "had to fight to get people to say the word 'Africa'" with the department.

When asked about those comments Sunday, Carney said Africa is part of Canada's diversification push.

"Is it the first thing we worked on in terms of priorities? No," he said. "That's because we have a responsibility to have that highest return. Canada remains engaged with Africa."

Carney said Canada needed to focus first on deepening the strong ties Ottawa already has with economies such as Mexico, the U.K. and in Europe "to move them to the next level." What followed was progress with high-growth Asian markets where Canada could secure "immediate results," such as the newly signed Indonesia trade deal.

"It's still a priority; it's one of the big continents," he said in French.

Carney also held an informal discussion Sunday with Brazilian President Luiz In谩cio Lula da Silva, and was part of a Saturday meeting of European and Japanese counterparts who urged Washington to revise its initial peace proposal for Ukraine, which echoed much of Russia's demands.

The South African hosts highly restricted access to bilateral meetings on both days of the summit, blocking Canadian media from attending all of the engagements Carney held at the summit site.
