Indo-Pacific countries such as India, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, China and South Korea. what other countries in the indo pacific area am i missing that marc carney made a deal with

1. What Marc Carney actually “made a deal with” — the headline winners

The clearest, documented trade deal is a Canada‑Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), described by the government as giving over 95% of current Canadian exports to Indonesia reduced or eliminated tariffs once implemented, and accompanied by investment‑partnership arrangements ^[1]. On security, Canada and the Republic of Korea announced the Canada‑Korea Security and Defence Cooperation Partnership — billed as the first such Canadian accord in the Indo‑Pacific and meant to broaden cooperation on defence, cyber, space and hybrid threats ^{[2] [5]}.

2. The ASEAN sweep: negotiations and letters of intent, not yet fully signed pacts

Carney accelerated negotiations on a Canada‑ASEAN free trade agreement while attending the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, and his team signed a Letter of Intent with Malaysia on energy investment (LNG, oil, nuclear and renewables). Those steps are framed as “advance” or “accelerate” rather than concluded treaties: they signal intent and negotiation momentum rather than completed CEPA‑style deals ^{[3] [6]}.

3. Bilateral meetings that read like commercial and political outreach

During his trip Carney held bilateral meetings with the leaders of Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam, and he met Singapore’s prime minister to discuss deepening partnerships in trade, energy, defence and technology. These meetings produced policy pushes and public commitments to negotiate, not necessarily legally binding, finalised deals in every case ^{[3] [7] [4]}.

4. Countries people named that sources confirm Carney engaged with

Your list (India, UAE, Singapore, China, South Korea) loosely matches reporting: sources show Carney engaged China at APEC, met South Korean leadership and Singapore’s prime minister, and has broader outreach to Asian economies; India appears in bilateral summits coverage such as meetings at G20 and other forums ^{[8] [9] [7] [10]}. The UAE is mentioned in broader coverage of Indo‑Pacific outreach and investment conversations in the government’s Indo‑Pacific strategy, though specific UAE deals are not detailed in these sources ^[3]. If you meant “made a deal with” strictly as signed, ratified agreements, Indonesia and Korea are the clearest examples in current reporting ^{[1] [2]}.

5. Notable Indo‑Pacific countries the reporting says Carney engaged but you didn’t list

Sources explicitly cite Indonesia (trade CEPA), Malaysia (ASEAN chair meetings and a Letter of Intent on energy investment), the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam (bilateral meetings at ASEAN), and broader Canada‑ASEAN efforts that implicate other member states — these are the additional Indo‑Pacific countries in the reporting beyond the ones you named ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

6. What’s not in the sources or remains unclear

Available sources do not mention a completed, separate bilateral trade deal with India or the UAE in the same way they do for Indonesia ^[1]. Likewise, while the government notes intent to diversify exports and seek deals across Asia, the degree to which meetings in Malaysia, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam have produced legally binding agreements — as opposed to memoranda, letters of intent or negotiation milestones — varies and is not fully detailed ^{[3] [6]}.

7. Motives, pushback and geopolitical context

Carney’s diplomatic push is framed as economic diversification away from U.S. dependence and as a strategic entry into the Indo‑Pacific’s growth markets; Canadian officials pair trade liberalization with security cooperation ^{[11] [2]}. Critics and some domestic stakeholders raised labour and policy concerns about the Indonesia deal, indicating domestic trade politics are contentious even as foreign outreach advances ^[12]. Analysts caution this new posture must be sequenced with allied consultations to avoid unintended diplomatic consequences ^[5].

8. Bottom line for your checklist

If you’re compiling who Carney “made a deal with,” the sources identify Indonesia (CEPA) and South Korea (security/defence partnership) as the clearest, signed outcomes; Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam are confirmed engagement or negotiation partners; China, India and the UAE appear in engagement or summit contexts, but not as clearly as completed deals in the sources reviewed ^{[1] [2] [3] [7] [8] [10]}.
