China and Canada have reached an agreement
Current time is July 11. During the event, Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a communication with Canadian Foreign Minister Anand.
This meeting was proposed by Canada, indicating their great expectation for meeting with China.
The Chinese side stated that this year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the strategic partnership. There are no territorial disputes or geopolitical conflicts between the two sides, and they can completely become partners who achieve success together.
In response, Canada agreed and stated that it highly values the development of relations with China and is willing to maintain contact and communicate honestly with China.
In fact, Canada's active invitation for dialogue with China mainly aims to resolve issues in the trade field, because the United States will impose a 35% tariff on Canada on August 1, which is not beneficial to the economy.
China also mentioned this point, as China has always adhered to multilateralism and free trade, and has actively provided 100% tariff-free products to the least developed countries, and has also allocated funds and technology to help them further develop. This is also the reason why China can win more support from more countries and regions.
Therefore, Canada is urgently hoping to obtain China's commitment and statement. On one hand, to establish a friendly relationship and strengthen cooperation, and on the other hand, to give them more confidence when negotiating with the United States.
Although Canada heavily relies on the US market, if the trade negotiations between the two sides fail, they will eventually have to seek overseas markets to make up for the losses.
Currently, Canada has given up implementing retaliatory policies against the United States, as there is still some time until August 1, and they can come up with strategies during this dialogue.
