China highlights improved relations ahead of Canadian PM visit
(MENAFN) China announced Monday that relations with Canada have improved over the past year and emphasized the importance it places on the upcoming visit of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters in Beijing, “The sound and steady development of ties (between China and Canada) serves common interests of the two countries and people, and is conducive to world peace, development stability, and prosperity.”
She confirmed that Carney will arrive in Beijing on Wednesday for a four day trip at the invitation of Premier Li Qiang.
Mao explained that the visit is expected to “step up dialogue and communication, enhance political trust, expand practical cooperation, properly handle differences, address each other’s concerns, and consolidate turnout in ties.”
Carney’s office earlier stated, "Canada's new government is moving our economy from reliance to resilience -- building our strength at home, working to double our non-U.S. exports, and attracting massive new investment."
During the trip, Carney is scheduled to meet President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang, and senior officials as well as business leaders. According to the Canadian government, the agenda will focus on strengthening cooperation in “trade, energy, agriculture, and international security.”
The statement also noted, "This visit marks the first visit to China by a Canadian Prime Minister since 2017."
China and Canada established diplomatic ties in 1970, and by the end of 2024, bilateral trade had reached approximately $67 billion.
