Xi calls for boosting of ties

PRESIDENT Xi Jinping said yesterday that China welcomed Canada’s decision to apply to be a member of the Asian Infra­structure Investment Bank.

While meeting with visiting Cana­dian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Xi said that China was willing to improve communication and coordination with Canada, protect an open and inclusive multilateral trade system with the coun­try and deepen cooperation in areas such as climate change, peacekeeping and marine protection.

Xi also called for more high-level visits between China and Canada. Leaders of both countries should pursue com­munication and coordination in a variety of ways on issues of mutual concern, Xi said. He added that both sides should enhance dialogue and cooperation in various fields with existing bilateral mechanisms.

Trudeau’s father, Pierre Trudeau, was the first Canadian prime minister to visit China.
