Chinese President Xi Jinping invited Prime Minister Mark Carney to visit China as the pair met on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea on Friday.
Xi's invitation, offered during brief remarks at the beginning of the meeting, marks a significant thaw in relations between the two countries.
Carney accepted and said he is very much looking forward to a visit to China, which would be the first such official visit by a Canadian prime minister since Justin Trudeau's attempt to launch trade talks in 2017.
