MANILA, Philippines — Justin Trudeau held a bilateral meeting today in the Philippines with the recently elected New Zealand Prime Minister Jacina Ardern — who’s drawn comparisons to the Canadian leader.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place on the sidelines of a Southeast Asian summit in Manila, where Trudeau is trying to increase\u00a0Canada’s presence in the region in areas such as security and trade.<\/p>\n

The two young prime ministers greeted each other warmly during a brief pre-meeting exchange in front of journalists from both countries.<\/p>\n

Trudeau said he hoped they could dig deeper during their meeting about their shared values such as progressive trade issues, climate change and the development of international feminist policy.<\/p>\n

He also said he believed they could learn a lot from each other when it comes to addressing Indigenous issues since the countries have similar challenges and approaches.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old Ardern said she and Trudeau have discovered they have a lot in common — not just in terms of their countries’ interests and challenges, but on a personal level as well.<\/p>\n

Her liberal Labour Party formed a government following New Zealand’s September election and she was sworn in late last month.<\/p>\n
