Justin Trudeau will turn his focus to the ongoing crises in Haiti as he speaks with some world leaders Monday ahead of the 78th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
The prime minister will meet with the Caribbean country's acting Prime Minister Garry Conille before delivering remarks at a high-level meeting for a UN advisory group for Haiti.
Conille stepped into his role earlier this year after former Prime Minister Ariel Henry was forced out amid surging unrest and violence by criminal gangs that had overrun much of Haiti's capital.
Later Monday, Trudeau is scheduled to have a much different type of conversation while making his guest debut on CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
Trudeau arrived in New York on Sunday where he delivered remarks to the Summit of the Future, telling leaders they had a choice to stick their heads in the sand or come together to confront global challenges.
The summit has a goal to reform the UN, reinvigorate multilateralism and find solutions to new challenges at a time when the global institution has faced criticism for its handling of issues including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war in Gaza.
Trudeau told leaders to embrace the "Pact of the Future," a 42-page blueprint to address a wide range of 21st-century global challenges.
