Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Tuesday that the security risks from Canada's economic partnership with the United States are greater than the risks from expanding commercial ties with China. He made the remarks at a press conference in Montreal, The Globe and Mail reported.
Carney also said Canada's economic partnership with China is deepening. He said the relationship has clear guardrails covering the areas where the two countries are involved.
Carney is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Nov. 17. The meeting is set to take place at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China.
The Nov. 17 meeting would be Carney's second visit to China since he took office.
