Canadian PM Justin Trudeau visiting Seattle

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be in Western Washington Wednesday and Thursday to take part in the Microsoft CEO Summit and meet with Gov. Jay Inslee.

The prime minister's office said Trudeau will be at Microsoft's Redmond campus to promote the Cascadia Innovation Corridor, encourage investment in the Canadian technology sector, and draw global talent to Canada.

"Canada's greatest strength is its skilled, hard-working, creative, and diverse workforce," Trudeau said in a statement. "Canada is recognized as a world leader in research and development in many areas like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and 3D programming. Our government will continue to help Canadian businesses grow and create good, well-paying middle-class jobs in today's high-tech economy."

More than 150 CEOs are expected at the event, titled "The CEO Agenda: Navigating Change."
