China’s Finance Ministry said on Wednesday that Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne would visit China this week, a trip his office said aimed to build closer strategic and economic ties.
The finance ministry said the visit would take place from April 1 to April 4, according to Reuters.
Champagne’s office said in a statement on Monday that the visit would build on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to China in January, the first by a Canadian prime minister since 2017.
China is Canada’s second‑largest single‑country trading partner. Two‑way merchandise trade between the two countries totalled $124.8 billion in 2025, Reuters reported.
