Pakistan, Jan. 16 -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney completed a historic visit to Beijing, restoring high-level China-Canada relations. He met President Xi Jinping to announce a strategic partnership, focusing on trade and bilateral cooperation. Xi described the visit as a "turnaround" after years of diplomatic tension.

Trade was central to the talks. China agreed to reduce tariffs on Canadian canola, peas, and selected seafood. In exchange, Canada will allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) into its market. Leaders also discussed agriculture, clean energy, and security cooperation. Carney praised China as "a more predictable partner" in global trade.
