在加国总理Justin Trudea不久前正式访问中国时，顺道签订了60多项商业协议。在中国总理李克强9月22日至23日回访加拿大时，另有四个商业协议签订。这是总理办公室在渥太华举行签字仪式之后所提供的资讯。
这些协议的签订，进一步说明加中两国之间商业合作的广度，也是两国在主要经济部门进一步增加合作的明证。这当然也见证加中经贸关系的稳固增长。在2015年，双边贸易年增长超过10%，达到858亿美元。
新签协议将有助于创造就业，成长中产阶层，并加强共同繁荣。这四个商业协定包括：
第一，加拿大退休金计划投资委员会(Canada Pension Plan Investment Board，简称CPPIB)和中国发改委(The National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China，简称NDRC)签署备忘录(Memorandum Of Understanding)，合作研究、培训和研讨，关注中国人口老龄化所带来的挑战，包括养老金制度改革和促进全球投资者投资国内养老产业。
第二，Sinoenergy Corporation Ltd支持艾尔伯特省Long Run Exploration Ltd的运行，后者是一家石油和天然气公司，致力于加拿大西部的发展与繁荣。在未来两年需要投资5亿加元。
第三，SNC Lavalin/CANDU能源公司与中国核工业集团公司(China National Nuclear Corporation，简称CNNC)以及上海电气集团(Shanghai Electric Group Company Ltd)组建全新合资公司，开发、推广和建造Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor AFCRTM。为此将组建两个设计中心，一个在加拿大而另一个在中国，完善AFCRTM技术，并在中国和世界其他地方的核反应堆建设和维护中得到项目。全新的AFCRTM工厂将重点放在再利用、废核材料上面，力促低碳、清洁电力。这个合作不仅强化加拿大在国内和国际对环境保护的重视，同时由于两个设计中心的诞生可以为加拿大和中国带来新职位。
第四，基于Oakville的国际知名营养品品牌公司Iovate Health Sciences International Inc.和Xiwang Food Stuffs Co. Ltd签署股权购买协议，价值达到9.62亿加元，这将有利Iovate在北美的领先地位，并利用这一优势在中国及其他亚洲地区强劲增长。(图片来自微信朋友圈)

Strengthening of Canada-China commercial relationship
Building on his recent first official visit to China, where more than 60 commercial deals were announced, the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today welcomed an additional four commercial signings between Canadian and Chinese companies at a ceremony in Ottawa. The signing ceremony is part of the official visit by the Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, Li Keqiang, to Canada from September 22-23, 2016.
These agreements demonstrate the breadth of the commercial relationship and are further proof of the ever-growing ties between both countries in key sectors of our economy. They also signal solid growth in Canada-China economic relations, which had a year-over-year increase of more than 10 percent in 2015, reaching $85.8 billion in two-way merchandise trade.
These new business relationships will help create new jobs, strengthen Canada’s middle class, and bolster our shared prosperity.
Commercial signings in Ottawa:
•Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China (NDRC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on joint research, training and seminars to address the challenges of China’s aging population, including pension reform and the promotion of investment in the domestic senior care industry from global investors.
•A commitment from Sinoenergy Corporation Ltd. to support operations of the Long Run Exploration Ltd. facility in Alberta, an intermediate oil and natural gas company focused on development and exploration in Western Canada, by the injection of an additional C$500 million over the next two years.
•SNC Lavalin/CANDU Energy Inc. signed an agreement in principle for a new Joint Venture with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and Shanghai Electric Group Company Ltd. to develop, market and build the Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor AFCR™. That would be followed by the formation of two design centres — one in Canada and another in China — to complete the AFCR™ technology and enter into contracts for the engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance of new build reactors in China and around the world. New AFCR™ plants will be fueled by reprocessed, spent nuclear material, resulting in low carbon, clean electricity. This will reinforce Canadian stewardship of the environment not just at home, but abroad and support new jobs for research design centres in Canada and in China.
•Iovate Health Sciences International, Inc., a leading Oakville-based nutritional company with well-known international health brands, and Xiwang Food Stuffs Co. Ltd. signed a share purchase agreement worth C$962 million which will strengthen the leading position of Iovate in North America and utilize the strong growth momentum in China and Asia.
