Former Bank of England governor and current Canadian political figure Mark Carney has agreed to visit China following his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit. The meeting marks a step toward rebuilding economic and diplomatic engagement between the two countries after years of strained relations.
Carney, who serves as a key economic adviser in Canada and is seen as a potential future leader, met Xi on the sidelines of the summit. Both sides discussed opportunities for cooperation in areas such as climate finance, trade, and global economic stability.
During the conversation, Xi emphasized China’s willingness to strengthen ties with Canada based on mutual respect and shared economic goals. Carney expressed appreciation for the invitation and confirmed his intention to visit China in the near future, signaling a thaw in bilateral ties.
Analysts suggest that Carney’s upcoming visit could help pave the way for renewed economic dialogue between Ottawa and Beijing, especially in the context of global trade challenges. The potential visit is viewed as an important gesture amid cautious optimism for improving Canada-China relations.
Observers note that Canada has been recalibrating its foreign policy toward China, focusing on pragmatic engagement while addressing national security and human rights concerns. Carney’s diplomatic approach aligns with efforts to restore confidence and open new channels of cooperation.
