Rishi Sunak emphasised the enduring “friendship” the UK has with Canada, as well as between himself and Justin Trudeau, as he welcomed the Canadian premier to Downing Street.
The UK Prime Minister has held a number of bilateral meetings around the king's coronation and the two leaders met over tea following the event.
Mr Trudeau was one of the 90 world leaders at Westminster Abbey earlier.
The two Prime Ministers hugged when Mr Trudeau arrived at No 10.
Speaking in front of the media ahead of their private talks, Mr Sunak said: “We’ve seen each other a lot over the past few months, but I think that speaks to the friendship between our two countries and between you and I.
“We’re members of all the same clubs, whether that’s the G7, the Commonwealth — obviously important at the moment, Nato.”
He thanked Mr Trudeau for his support in the UK’s accession to the CPTPP trade partnership and said they would continue to work together to support Ukraine.
The Canadian leader stressed the shared values of the two countries.
“We are aligned on how we’re going to move forward, standing strong for our values, making sure there’s opportunities for jobs and growth for citizens across our countries and around the world as we work together.”
He noted the pair would meet again at the coming G7 summit, saying there would be “lots of opportunities for us to make sure that as we always are, we’re aligning in our values, in our approach.”
The duo then admired coronation teacups made by Emma Bridgewater, a pottery with strong royal connections.
At the coronation, Mr Trudeau was joined by his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, governor general Mary Simon and several other dignitaries.
“Today, we celebrated the coronation of King Charles III and reaffirmed Canada’s enduring commitment to the Commonwealth,” Canada’s premier tweeted.
Canada is one of the 14 Commonwealth realms where the British monarch is head of state.
Mr Trudeau had a video call with King Charles as part of a busy run of diplomatic duties for the monarch ahead of the coronation.
The king also met with Canadian indigenous leaders, Chief Roseanne Archibald, Natan Obed and Cassidy Caron.

Keane on …
Liverpool’s Uefa Champions League bid: “They’re great. With the attacking force they have, for me, they’re certainly one of the favourites. You look at the teams left in it - they’re capable of scoring against anybody at any given time. Defensively they’ve been good, so I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t go on and win it.”
Mohamed Salah’s debut campaign at Anfield: “Unbelievable. He’s been phenomenal. You can name the front three, but for him on a personal level, he’s been unreal. He’s been great to watch and hopefully he can continue now until the end of the season - which I’m sure he will, because he’s been in fine form. He’s been incredible this season.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s instant impact at former club LA Galaxy: “Brilliant. It’s been a great start for him and for the club. They were crying out for another big name there. They were lacking that, for the prestige of LA Galaxy. And now they have one of the finest stars. I hope they can go win something this year.”

Retail gloom
