On August 7, 2024, Chinese Ambassador to Canada H.E. Wang Di met with the President and CEO of the Business Council of Canada (BCC), Mr. Goldy Hyder.

Ambassador Wang briefed about the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC and China’s economic situation in the first half of the year. He highlighted that highly complementary in terms of economic structure and resource endowment, China and Canada have broad prospects for cooperation in the fields of energy, agriculture and environmental protection. China stands ready to advance relations with Canada on the basis of mutual respect, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and win-win cooperation, and to strengthen trade and practical cooperation in other fields for the benefit of the people of the two countries. He hoped that the Business Council of Canada will play an active role in promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.

Mr. Hyder commended China’s economic performance, and stressed that Canadian enterprises attach importance to the Chinese market and look forward to more trade and investment cooperation with China.
