Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, marking the first direct meeting between the two countries’ top leaders in eight years. The talks took place at the Great Hall of the People and were viewed as a significant signal toward rebuilding diplomatic relations. Carney also met Chinese Premier Li Qiang before departing for Doha to meet Qatar’s Amir. The visit is seen as a milestone for Canada in rebuilding bilateral ties and exploring new economic opportunities while reducing dependence on the United States.
Relations between Ottawa and Beijing had been strained for nearly a decade, particularly after the 2018 arrest of a Huawei executive in Vancouver at the request of the United States. Both sides now indicate a desire to move past that period, focusing on overcoming the fallout from the Huawei case and the detention of Canadian citizens in China. However, challenges remain, including allegations of election interference, human rights concerns, and limited media access.
The visit could pave the way for practical trade agreements, though managing sensitive issues will remain the key test for both governments.
