On May 22, Mr. Consul General Luo Weidong attended and delivered remarks at the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) Promotion Event (Toronto).

Consul General Luo briefed the development of China–Canada economic and trade relations following Prime Minister Carney’s successful visit to China. He noted that the recent new vision of building a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability not only brings stability to today’s turbulent world, but also creates favorable conditions for China-Canada economic and trade cooperation. He encouraged Canadian enterprises to seize the new opportunities arising from China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and to actively participate in bilateral economic and trade cooperation by taking advantages of the CIIE platform.

The event was jointly organized by the Consulate General of China in Toronto, the China International Import Expo Bureau, and Bank of China (Canada). Speakers at the event included Canadian Member of Parliament Jean Yip, Toronto City Councillor Nick Mantas, Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, and Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of the Canada China Business Council Bijan Ahmadi. Deputy Director General Wu Zhengping of the China International Import Expo Bureau also delivered remarks via video. More than 130 representatives from the local business community attended the event.
