New York, September 24 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Canada to make more proactive and practical efforts to further improve bilateral relations. Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who is in New York to attend the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, announced this during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday.
He also called on both sides to steadily move their relations along the path of healthy, stable and sustainable development.
Taking the opportunity of the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the strategic partnership, China is willing to work together with Canada in the spirit of responsibility to the people and bilateral relations, Li Qiang noted.
China hopes that the Canadian side can form a correct understanding of China and respect each other's core interests and key concerns so as to strengthen the political foundation for the development of bilateral cooperation and ties, the Chinese Premier said.
He said China supports closer exchanges between the governments, political parties, legislatures and local authorities of the two countries, as well as people-to-people and youth exchanges, so as to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen mutual trust through dialogue and exchanges.
"China has long been Canada's second-largest trading partner, and bilateral trade has seen rapid growth since the beginning of this year," Li Qiang noted, emphasizing that China is willing to work with Canada to maintain and expand the positive momentum while addressing trade and economic issues through dialogue and consultation.
He called on both sides to deepen and expand mutually beneficial cooperation in energy, green development, tourism and other fields, so as to bring greater benefits to the peoples of both countries.
Li Qiang noted that in light of a number of recent developments in the international arena, in particular the rise of unilateralism and protectionism, as well as the spread of trade restrictions, the international community must strengthen solidarity and join forces to respond to risks and challenges.
He expressed China's willingness to strengthen communication and coordination with Canada to jointly promote economic globalization and free trade, support the reform and development of the WTO, and work to build an open world economy to better safeguard the common interests of the international community.
