Announced today, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will chair a high-level UN Security Council meeting in New York this Tuesday before traveling to Canada.
This marks the first official visit to Canada by a Chinese foreign minister in a decade, signaling a potential thaw in long-strained diplomatic relations. While in Ottawa, Wang is expected to discuss a "new strategic partnership" with his counterpart, Anita Anand, who reportedly plans to host him for a scenic hike in Gatineau Park. The visit follows years of tension fueled by legal disputes and accusations of state-sponsored interference in Canadian elections.
Observers believe this trip is a precursor to a potential state visit by President Xi Jinping to North America later this winter.
