VANCOUVER — Canada and China have struck an agreement to deepen collaboration across their financial systems as the two countries seek closer economic ties.
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu hosted He Lifeng, vice-premier of China, in Vancouver over the past two days.
After the meetings, Finance Canada released a joint statement saying the two sides agreed to “enhance financial sector co-operation.”
That includes granting greater market access for financial services and fostering engagement between Canadian and Chinese regulatory authorities.
