Canadian PM Declares ‘New World Order’ In Chummy Partnership Talk With Beijing

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared a “new world order” during a friendly visit to China on Thursday where he also praised the “leadership of President Xi Jinping.”

Carney’s multi-day visit to the U.S. adversary kicked off Wednesday. He is expected to attend a lunch with Xi on Friday. Ahead of his anticipated meeting with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader, Carney, flanked by other Canadian politicians, hailed the “progress” the U.S.’ northern neighbor made in its “partnership” with China over the past several years.

“Mine is the first visit of a Canadian Prime Minister to China in nearly a decade,” stated Carney, who was seated alongside Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Canadian Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly.

“The world has changed much since that last visit, I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order,” declared the Prime Minister of Canada. (RELATED: ‘Glad You Upgraded Me’: Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Exchange Jokes In Hot Mic Moment)

Also during his Beijing trip, Carney told Zhao Leji, the third-highest ranking member of the CCP, “We’re heartened by the leadership of President Xi Jinping and the speed with which our relationship has progressed,” Reuters reported.

“It sets the stage for these important discussions on a wide range of issues where we can be strategic partners from energy to agriculture, to people-to-people ties, multilateralism, to issues on security,” Carney added in his remarks to Zhao, per the outlet.

Meanwhile, Carney told Chinese Premier Li Qiang — the second-highest ranking member of the CCP behind Xi and ahead of Zhao — that “together,” Canada and China are bringing their relationship “back toward where it should be,” according to Reuters.

Anand, Canada’s top diplomat, told reporters during the China visit that Canada has “a new government with a new prime minister, a new foreign policy, and a new geopolitical environment,” the New York Times reported.

Anand, a member of Carney’s Liberal Party who holds a position roughly equivalent to the U.S. Secretary of State, added that “it is necessary for us [Canada] to diversify our trading partners, and to grow non-U. S. trade, by at least 50 percent over the next 10 years.”

Carney succeeded fellow Liberal Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister of 10 years, in March 2025. He went on to win reelection, despite the Conservative Party making gains, the following month — after running a campaign strongly based around attacking President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

The Liberal politician served as the Governor of the Bank of England and the Governor of the Bank of Canada for a combined 12 years.
