 Good afternoon to everyone. Hello, everyone. Thank you all for joining us today. It's a pleasure to be back in China and to have the opportunity to deepen the ties between our two countries. As you know, our visit is off to a productive start. Yesterday, I met with Premier Li and we had a chance to talk about issues of shared interest beginning with trade. We look forward to continuing exploratory discussions towards a comprehensive trade agreement between Canada and China that will create jobs and new opportunities for middle-class Canadians to succeed. China is perhaps already a popular destination for Canadian exports, but we know that the economic potential of exchanges between our two countries remains largely unexploited. The Chinese market will soon be the largest in the world. With more than a billion potential clients for Canadian products and services, it exists for Canadians who arrive on the Chinese market or who take from the expansion unprecedented opportunities. As part of our discussions, we also consider that all Canadians take advantage of a stricter commercial relationship with China, not only between entrepreneurs and companies. Canada may already be a popular destination for Canadian exports, but we know that the economic potential between our two countries remains largely untapped. The Chinese market will soon be the largest in the world. With more than one billion potential customers for Canadian products and services, there are unprecedented opportunities for Canadians to either break into or expand within the Chinese market. As we continue talks, we also want to make sure that all Canadians benefit from a closer trading relationship with China, not just entrepreneurs. Done right, trade agreements can create more of the well-paying, middle-class jobs people need on both sides of the Pacific. Jobs that can help parents put food on the table, strengthen our communities, and grow our economy. Canadians can rest assured that their government is committed to pursuing trade that benefits everyone and puts people first. Our goal is and always will be to strike agreements that are in line with our values, agreements that account for things like labour protection, environmental standards, and gender. Increased cooperation on the economic front is only one of the ways in which China and Canada are becoming stronger partners. Premier Lee and I also talked about the need for concerted action on a global scale as we tackle the challenges brought on by a changing climate. We stand united in our belief that growing the economy and protecting the environment must go hand in hand. In that vein, we issued a joint statement outlining how our countries will work more closely together on climate change and clean growth, both on a bilateral basis and through international institutions. This is another positive step towards ensuring a cleaner, safer environment for our citizens and their children. We remain committed to uphold the global momentum on that front. China and Canada will also expand cooperation and increase ministerial dialogue to promote clean growth and combat climate change by fully implementing the Paris Agreement. Our shared concern for our environment will continue to be featured prominently in everything we do. Climate change is without a doubt one of the greatest challenges of our time, one we cannot and one we will not ignore. Canada and China are not only long-term partners, but also good friends who are getting closer every day. What makes our relationship a very special relationship are the strong links that our citizens and our two countries unite. At this point, I am impatient to celebrate the year of Canada-China tourism. Indeed, 2018 will be an extraordinary opportunity for the families of both sides of the Pacific to discover everything that our communities have to offer. Canada and China are not only historic partners, but true friends who continue to grow closer every day. Indeed, what makes this relationship so special is the strong people-to-people ties that unite our countries. On that note, I'm very much looking forward to the 2018 Canada-China Year of Tourism, which will present an unprecedented opportunity for families on both sides of the Pacific to experience everything our communities have to offer. We've also agreed to cooperate on a wide range of other important issues from education and culture to agricultural exports and peacekeeping.
