Vancouver<\/strong> \u2014 The 2026 Canada-China Economic and Trade Roundtable, hosted by the Canada China Chamber of Commerce (CCCC) and organized by the Bank of China (Canada), was successfully held in Vancouver on September 3, 2026. Nearly 70 representatives from governments, enterprises, academic institutions, and Indigenous organizations of both countries gathered to discuss key topics, including the development of bilateral economic and trade relations, Canada\u2019s green transition, and the opportunities and responsibilities in supporting Indigenous community development.<\/p>\n

Chinese Ambassador to Canada Wang Di delivered a written opening address, noting that economic and trade cooperation has always been the main artery of China-Canada relations, and that business exchanges bring tangible benefits to the peoples of both nations. He expressed hope that the business communities, financial institutions, and First Nations communities of both countries will continue to strengthen communication and collaboration, allowing economic and trade cooperation to serve as a vital stabilizer and promoter of bilateral ties, thereby building a broader and firmer social and public opinion foundation for the healthy, stable, and sustainable development of China-Canada relations.<\/p>\n

Canadian Senator Yuen Pau Woo and former Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau delivered keynote speeches, sharing insights on the current international landscape, the trajectory of bilateral relations, and the opportunities and challenges facing Chinese enterprises operating in Canada. Xu Qingjun, Minister-Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Canada; former Canadian Senator Victor Oh; Prince George Mayor Simon Yu; and Deng Jun, President of CCCC and President of the Bank of China (Canada), also attended the event and delivered remarks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the special presentation session, Dr. Jiang Wenran, Chair of the Canada-China Energy and Environment Forum; Julian Karaguesian, former special advisor to the Department of Finance Canada; and Professor Lu Hai from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, delivered speeches on the prospects of bilateral relations, the impact of U.S. trade policy on Canada, and global practices in green supply chains coupled with Canadian opportunities, respectively.<\/p>\n

The roundtable featured a dedicated panel discussion themed “Chinese Enterprises in Canada and Indigenous Partnerships,” moderated by CCCC President Deng Jun. Panelists included Derek Epp, Chief of Tzeachten First Nation; Ernie Daniels, President and CEO of the First Nations Finance Authority; Robert J. Brant, Partner and co-head at McCarthy T\u00e9trault; Patrick Doyon, Vice Chairman and Senior Partner at Signal Hill Strategic Consulting; and Qingyong Jin, Vice President of CNOOC Petroleum North America. The participants exchanged in-depth views on Indigenous community development aspirations, legal frameworks, financial support, cross-cultural communication, corporate social responsibility, and cooperation, exploring effective pathways for Chinese enterprises to better integrate into local markets, deepen partnerships with Indigenous communities, and achieve sustainable development.<\/p>\n

During the conference, CCCC released the 2026 Canada-China Business Survey Report<\/em>. Data shows that the Canadian business community’s confidence in deepening economic and trade cooperation with China is strengthening further: 68 percent of respondents expect Canada-China trade to continue growing over the next two years, and 48 percent view China as an important strategic market for their industry or enterprise.<\/p>\n

Organizers noted that the roundtable strengthened ties between the CCCC, Chinese enterprises, and Canadian stakeholders while providing a platform for members to understand the local market and enhance operations. Moving forward, the CCCC will continue acting as a bridge to promote bilateral cooperation, guide enterprises in social responsibility and compliance, and support the stable growth of bilateral trade and investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
