OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will miss Friday's national Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa to attend a summit in Cambodia involving countries from across Southeast Asia.
The ASEAN summit, which is scheduled to start on Saturday, is the first of four international meetings that Trudeau will attend over 10 days. He will also attend the G20 in Indonesia, the APEC meeting in Thailand and a Francophonie summit in Tunisia. The prime minister met with serving military personnel and veterans in New Brunswick earlier this week, spokeswoman Cecely Roy said. That included visiting the military base in Gagetown on Indigenous Veterans Day and paying his respects to those who fell in service at the Oromocto Pioneer Gardens Cemetery.
Trudeau was also absent for the national Remembrance Day ceremony in 2018 because he was attending an international gathering of world leaders in France marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
