Carney to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week
Carney said the talks will also cover security and trade as Canada seeks closer ties with China while reducing reliance on the United States.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, to discuss economic ties and foreign interference concerns.
- National domestic exports to China surged by roughly $4.32 billion year-over-year, driven largely by energy and agricultural shipments from Alberta and Saskatchewan, marking a turnaround from previous diplomatic tensions.
- Crude oil exports jumped 159 per cent, averaging 327,000 barrels per day, while canola meal exports rose to $360.3 million, largely due to Trans Mountain pipeline capacity expansion.
- Carney told reporters Tuesday he will raise the importance Canada attaches to "non-interference in our affairs by China and other countries" during his upcoming meetings with Xi.
- Canada aims to double non-U.S. exports by 2035 to reduce strategic dependence, as Carney prepares for expected conversations with President Donald Trump during the upcoming APEC and ASEAN summits.
