Prime Minister Mark Carney witnessed the signing of an agreement to co-operate more with China on clean and conventional energy the first day of talks in Beijing on Thursday, after years of difficult relations between the two countries. But at this point, none of the agreements included a resolution to tariffs.
Beijing also did not commit to buying more Canadian petroleum and liquified natural gas in the memorandum of understanding signed by energy and natural resources minister Tim Hodgson.
The MOU states both countries will strengthen talks between ministers in several areas, including oil and gas resource development, liquified natural gas along with liquified petroleum gas, and emission reductions. This energy MOU builds on previous agreements.
