China is playing an increasingly important role in shaping world politics and driving global economic growth. Canada is working to renew ties with China to help grow the economy, strengthen the middle class, and develop long lasting ties between the peoples of both countries.

Today, 56 new commercial contracts and agreements were signed between Canadian and Chinese companies. These commercial signings – worth $1.2 billion – demonstrate the breadth of the Canada-China commercial relationship that involves people and businesses from a wide diversity of sectors, and a variety of export, investment, partnerships and collaborative ventures.

These announcements illustrate growth opportunities for Canadian companies in key priority sectors reflecting an inclusive and sustainable commitment to innovation and environment, a strong role for small and medium-sized enterprises, and a focus on open trade and investment.

They also reflect success stories that highlight the quality and safety of Canadian food products, our innovative and world-class Canadian clean technologies, and our continued competitive advantage in the oil and gas sector.

They also show that Canada is open to investment, which spurs innovation and supports growth in Canadian communities.
