Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first official visit to China since 2016 has been hailed as a "pivotal and historic" moment by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, signaling a potential thaw in bilateral relations. The two nations are now exploring fresh collaborations in trade, climate action, and global security – with Gen Z and millennials poised to benefit from new cross-cultural opportunities. 🍁🐉
During Thursday’s meeting in Beijing, Wang emphasized the visit’s timing as "crucial for navigating today’s multipolar world," while Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand highlighted shared goals in sustainable development.
