Canada aims to balance $118.7 billion trade with China while addressing security and human rights, renewing a strategic partnership first established in 2005, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said.
- On Monday, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Canada now views Beijing as a strategic partner, following last week’s agreement to renew and refocus the 2005 strategic partnership.

- Anita Anand invited Wang Yi to visit Canada and reiterated adherence to a One China policy while stressing human rights and the rules-based international order.
- Polling shows Canadians remain cautious, and Asia analysts warn that Vina Nadjibulla, Asia Pacific Foundation vice-president, said `China doesn't like to compartmentalize` complicating concerns ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Asia trip.
