China's Wang Yi suggests Canada could double exports during rare visit

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi suggested during a meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand on Friday that Canada could double its exports to China, surpassing the previous goal of a 50% increase by 2030. Wang is on a three-day visit to Canada, the first by a Chinese foreign minister in a decade. Anand acknowledged the significance of the Canada-China economic relationship. Wang also met with Prime Minister Mark Carney for a private meeting. The visit follows an initial trade deal in January that reduced tariffs on electric vehicles and canola, marking Carney's first visit to China since 2017.
