Canada’s ambassador to China, Guy Saint-Jacques, said the Chinese were going “out of their way” to welcome the prime minister during a busy week leading up to the G20 summit in Hangzhou. RelatedTrudeau’s family dinner with Premier Li Keqiang at the Forbidden City Tuesday night was “unprecedented,” Saint-Jacques said in Beijing Wednesday. Morneau thanked China for its “initiative and leadership,” saying “we couldn’t be more supportive” of the bank’s “lean, clean and green” mandate. The bank set a ceiling for its capital at US$100 billion, with about US$2 billion of that unallocated, said Saint-Jacques. That “rule of law” is to be brought up in a new high-level dialogue between Canada and China, along with security issues, the leaders said.
