Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau telephoned Emmanuel Macron on Sunday to congratulate him on winning France's presidential election.

"I look forward to working closely with President-elect Macron in the years ahead as we work together on a progressive agenda to promote international security, increase collaboration in science and technology, and create good, middle class jobs on both sides of the Atlantic," he said in a statement earlier.

"This also includes implementing the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement."
