Canadian finance minister Jim Flaherty met with the Chinese
finance minister Jin Renqing Friday in Beijing.
Flaherty said that China and Canada are facing many
opportunities and both governments are working together to take
these opportunities. Canada has become an important energy provider
and a center for science technology. China is an economic giant. So
the need for cooperation between China and Canada is obvious.
He called for encouraging Canadian financial organizations to
get to know the Chinese market, noting this will promote trade and
create the right conditions in which both countries can cooperate
with each other in the fields of education and research.
