Event Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will undertake an official state visit to China from January 13-17, 2026, marking the first such visit by a Canadian leader since 2017. The trip aims to strengthen cooperation in trade, energy, agriculture, and international security, signaling a thaw in previously strained relations between Canada and China. The visit follows a meeting between Mark Carney and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in October, which was described as a 'turning point'. The initiative is also driven by Canada's desire to diversify its exports away from the United States amidst uncertain trade policies under Donald Trump.
