China, Canada pledge to revive farm trade ties

China is willing to resume exchanges with Canada and cooperate in various fields, its foreign minister said to his Canadian counterpart without specifying the sectors, Reuters reported, citing the official Xinhua news agency on Tuesday.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China is willing to strengthen communication with Canada, adding that the diplomatic, commercial and other departments of both countries could enhance coordination and properly address their respective concerns.

Wang made the remarks to Canada's Anita Anand over a phone call, following a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in South Korea last month. Both leaders discussed trade issues including agriculture and electric vehicles.

Wang also said the leaders' meeting marked the return of bilateral ties to the right track after years of turbulence.
