Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese Premier Li Qiang have agreed to regularize channels of communication between the two countries.
A readout from Carney’s office also says the leaders committed to working together to address the fentanyl crisis.Canada and China have been involved in a trade dispute.
In response to Canadian taxes on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum, China has placed tariffs on Canadian canola oil, meal, peas, and seafood. In his conversation with Li, Carney raised the issue of trade affecting agriculture and agri-food products, including canola and seafood, as well as other issues.
Carney said earlier this week that Ottawa is working urgently to remove Chinese tariffs on Canadian agriculture and seafood products.
