We start with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's official trip to China. He met and dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday in Beijing with both leaders agreeing to pool their respective strengths together for the concrete benefit of people in both countries. And of course, trade is front and center during the prime minister's five-day stay, as a "comprehensive trade agreement" with China was laid on the table. Sun Ye has more.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said during his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he expects in-depth cooperation in various fields from finance to agriculture and that China encourages its companies to invest in Canada. While at the same time, also welcoming Canadian engagement in the Belt and Road Initiative. In turn, Trudeau spoke of bettering trade and economic relations.

And trade is indeed top of Trudeau's agenda. He affirmed that when re-stating the goal of his entire trip at a press conference earlier on Tuesday.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER "I look forward to exploratory talks on a comprehensive trade agreement with China. There are unprecedented opportunities for Canadians to either bring into or expand within the Chinese market."

With uncertainties surrounding NAFTA, hopes are high for such an agreement with China though the prime minister says there's no rush.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER "But this is not an overnight process. This is a process that has been ongoing over the past two years and will continue, and once we get to the stage of negotiating a trade agreement, that's going to take years as well."

Not to worry though as Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said Monday that bilateral relations are now in a "golden era" and made a promise on the trade talks.

LI KEQIANG CHINESE PREMIER "We will continue to explore the China-Canada free trade agreement and study its feasibility. We are quite open-minded about this, and in other words, China is open to talk on the free trade deal."

Trudeau will later head to southern China's Guangzhou for the Fortune Global Forum, a star-studded event that gathers business A-listers from Ma Yun to Tim Cook and carries immense opportunities for trade and economic growth. SunYe, CGTN.
