This map shows where Mark Carney and Pedro Sánchez were in the same city at the same time during international trips in 2025.
Despite 61 combined visits across 43 countries, only 4 real-time overlaps occurred – just 15% of all travel events.
Sánchez recorded about 35% more international visits than Carney and covered a broader geographic range (25 countries vs. 18, across 5 vs. 4 continents).
Both leaders focused heavily on Europe (60% vs. 58% of visits), and while they shared 9 locations overall, most of these visits happened at different times and are not shown here.
The result highlights how even highly active global travel rarely aligns in time – and how diplomatic movement concentrates around a relatively small set of key locations.
