During a phone conversation with her Canadian counterpart Anita Anand, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized that Beijing is ready to resume exchanges and cooperation with Canada in various fields, without specifying particular sectors. He also stressed that the diplomatic, trade, and other departments of both countries could enhance coordination and properly address mutual concerns.
The discussion followed a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, which took place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea last month. During their talks, the leaders discussed trade-related issues, including agriculture and electric vehicles.
Wang Yi noted that the meeting between the two leaders signaled a return of bilateral relations to a constructive path after years of strain.
Analysts point out that the renewed dialogue between Ottawa and Beijing could pave the way for a revival of agricultural trade, which once played a significant role in bilateral cooperation. Canada remains one of the world’s leading exporters of canola oil, soybeans, and pork, while China continues to be one of the largest consumers of these commodities.
