Today, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand released the following statement:
“China’s decision to give Canada Approved Destination Status for group travel is an important step forward in improving our relationship.
“Tourism helps build connections between people, which leads to better understanding and cooperation between our countries. Canada continues to offer safe, high-quality travel experiences and remains a welcoming place for visitors from China.
“After recent meetings between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Xi Jinping, as well as my own meeting with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in October, we are showing that positive engagement can help strengthen our relationship in a practical and respectful way.”
