On May 29, 2026 local time, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Ottawa.

Mark Carney asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to the Chinese leaders, stating that during his visit to China earlier this year, he and the Chinese leaders jointly decided to build the Canada-China new Strategic Partnership. Over the past four months, exchanges at all levels and cooperation across various fields between Canada and China have accelerated their restart and made positive progress. Canada is willing to work with China to maintain close high-level exchanges, deepen cooperation in fields such as energy, finance, agriculture and fisheries, and keep consolidating the foundation of bilateral relations. Canada supports China in hosting the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, and is ready to work with China to jointly champion and practice multilateralism, so as to make positive contributions to global economic development and world peace and stability.

Wang Yi conveyed the greetings of Chinese leaders to Mark Carney, stating that Mr. Prime Minister’s successful visit to China has helped steer China-Canada relations back on course and onto the right track. The two heads of state have agreed to build the China-Canada new Strategic Partnership, providing strategic guidance for the development of bilateral ties. Facts have proven that a better China-Canada relationship serves the interests of both countries, meets the expectations of all parties, and represents the right choice for Canada. There are no clashes of fundamental interests between the two nations and there is enormous room for cooperation. China is ready to work with Canada on the basis of mutual respect, meeting each other halfway, seeking common ground while reserving differences, strengthening communication, and deepening cooperation, so as to promote the sound, stable, and sustainable development of bilateral relations. Both sides should uphold multilateralism, the international rule of law, and strategic autonomy, while actively supporting free trade and an open world economy. This will not only deliver benefits to the two peoples but also inject stability from China and Canada into this turbulent and changing world.

During his visit to Canada, Wang Yi also held talks with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and met with former Prime Minister Jean Chretien of Canada.
