Analysts had feared that the summit would result in no consensus, with a unilateral statement from South Africa summarizing the talks instead of an agreement.
This afternoon, Carney will take part in an event between the European Union and Vietnam, which is chairing a trade bloc of Pacific Rim countries including Canada who believe in rules-based trade.
