01:29Please have a seat.

01:31I am very pleased to meet you again.

01:37Last October, we met in Kyonshu, the Republic of Korea.

01:41It was a very good meeting.

01:48That meeting, I believe, marked a turnaround in the China-Canada relations and placed it

01:56on the upward trajectory.

01:58In the past couple of months, the agencies of our two countries have engaged in deep discussions

02:06on resuming and restarting cooperation across the board and produced positive results.

02:12I am heartened by the progress.

02:16This is your first visit to China as Prime Minister and the first visit to China by a Canadian

02:25Prime Minister in more than eight years.

02:29A healthy and stable China-Canada relationship serves the common interests of our two countries.

02:35It is also good for the peace, stability and prosperity of the world.

02:40I am ready to continue working with you, with a sense of responsibility for the history,

02:48for the people and for the world, to further advance the relationship in a positive direction

02:54and bring it on a track of healthy, steady and sustainable development for the benefit of the people of both countries.

03:02Thank you, Prime Minister.

03:07Thank you, President Xi, for your hospitality, for the warm welcome that's been extended to this delegation

03:19and for the opportunity that our partnership brings to both our peoples and, I would suggest, as well, to the world.

03:28When we met for the last time in Guangzhou, we identified the key areas in which Canada and China can work together,

03:42as well as to the same and the same and the same and the same.

03:49I am extremely pleased that we are moving ahead with our new strategic partnership.

03:57A partnership that is founded on five pillars.

04:02It will not only deepen our bilateral ties to the benefit of our peoples, but will also,

04:12in my judgment, help improve the multilateral system, a system that in recent years has

04:22become under great strength.

04:25We're focusing on areas where we can make historic gains – in agriculture, in energy,

04:33in finance.

04:34That's where we can make the most immediate progress.

04:40But that progress, in our judgment, will be multiplied by the welcome expansion of our

04:47cultural and people-to-people ties.

04:51Twenty years ago, great steward of the Canada-China relationship, then Prime Minister Jean Chrétien,

05:00said of our partnership, and I quote,

05:05Nations feel most secure when they see countless connections between them to work to their mutual

05:11advantage, and it's that engagement that builds true peace and security.

05:18Today, decades on, these principles are the foundation of our new strategic partnership.

05:27Mr. President, together we can build on the best of what this relationship has been in

05:32the past to create a new one, adapted to new global realities, that will deliver stability,

05:40security, and prosperity to our peoples on both sides of the Pacific.

05:45Thank you very much.
