Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Beijing on Tuesday that Canada welcomes Chinese investment and he would try his best to offer more opportunities to Chinese enterprises.
He made these remarks while talking with more than 70 Chinese entrepreneurs at the China Entrepreneur Club Leaders Forum organized by the China Entrepreneur Club. This is his first stop of his China visit from Aug 30 to Sept 6.
He says that as the world's second largest economy, China plays a central role in driving global economic growth. The strengthening relationship with China is beneficial for both sides. Canada, as a country that is willing to support the development of enterprises, is very willing to cooperate with Chinese enterprises and support their development.
Established in 2006 as an NGO by 31 Chinese business leaders, the China Entrepreneur Club has been promoting the sustainable development of the economy and entrepreneurship. At present, most of the member companies are leaders of various industries, and the annual income of the 50 member companies totaled more than 3 trillion yuan ($0.44 trillion).
Leading Chinese companies in different areas asked separate questions of Trudeau.
Trudeau says that as Chinese's growing middle class are looking for more high-quality and safe products from all over the world, Canada is very passionate about working together with Chinese investors to help Canadian products enter the Chinese market.
"Canada has always had the reputation as a very safe, clean, responsible country, in our agriculture, we create high-quality products and goods," he says.
Meanwhile, as Canada has a long cold winter, they have also researched some very advanced agricultural technology that might be applicable to the Chinese market.
