Canadian Prime Minister to Visit China
The Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, is going to visit China from January 13th to 17th.
This is the first time a Canadian Prime Minister has visited China since 2017.
The reason for the visit is to try and sell more Canadian products to China instead of just the United States.
Canada wants to do this because the United States might change its trade rules, which could make it harder for Canada to sell things there.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit China from January 13-17.
This is the first visit by a Canadian Prime Minister to China since 2017.
Carney aims to diversify Canada's exports away from the United States.
The visit comes amid uncertainty in U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump.
Canada seeks to strengthen economic ties with China.
