Ready to hit refresh on relations? At the 32nd APEC Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju, the Republic of Korea, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced China is ready to team up with Canada to bring bilateral ties back to a healthy, stable and sustainable track 🤝🌏.
2023 marks two big milestones for these Pacific partners: the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the 20th year of their strategic partnership. Xi Jinping and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met on the sidelines of APEC to celebrate this history—and to look forward.
During their chat, Xi emphasized the “early date” goal for renewed progress, highlighting benefits for the two peoples. He stressed cooperation on trade, investment, climate and people-to-people exchanges—areas where both sides see real opportunity for youth, professionals and entrepreneurs.
This move comes as young investors and travelers from both regions are seeking new pathways for growth and cultural exchange. From tech startups to study abroad programs, a warmer China-Canada relationship could unlock fresh adventures and business prospects.
As we watch these world leaders press restart, Latin American youths and global onlookers can take note: diplomacy isn’t just for diplomats—it sets the stage for the next wave of innovation, travel and learning across borders.
