Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visits China to improve relations

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Beijing and met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Both leaders described the meeting as a chance to reset and improve relations between the two countries, with Carney hailing a new 'strategic partnership' and Xi calling for the nations to be partners.

This visit is seen as an attempt to repair ties that had grown strained in recent years. The trip follows a similar diplomatic effort by UK leader Keir Starmer, suggesting a broader Western effort to reset relations with China.
