At the end of October, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in South Korea. The Prime Minister’s Office said the two leaders agreed that their meeting “marked a turning point” in the relationship between Canada and China, with both pledging to “resolve outstanding trade issues and irritants” and co-operate on a wide range of issues, from “clean and conventional energy, to agriculture, manufacturing, climate change and international finance.”
