The Canada China Business Council\u2019s 47th Annual General Meeting and Business Forum took place in Beijing on November 3, 2025, marking another successful edition of CCBC\u2019s flagship event.

Ms. Kutulakos will begin a new position at another company on January 1, 2025, after nearly 18 years of dedicated leadership. Her contributions were celebrated with heartfelt appreciation for her remarkable impact on CCBC and the Canada-China business community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another highlight of the evening was the inspiring speech delivered by the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Canada\u2019s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, who underscored the significance of Canada-China trade in agriculture, agri-food, and fish and seafood products. He noted that China is Canada\u2019s second-largest customer in these sectors, with sales reaching $11.5 billion in 2023. Minister MacAulay praised Canadian producers for their innovation, quality, and dedication to meeting China\u2019s growing demand for safe and sustainable food. While addressing regulatory challenges, he emphasized the need for collaboration and a strong presence in China to foster long-term partnerships and enhance the Canada Brand.

LI Chenggang, including the path forward and the key challenges and opportunities ahead. The discussion highlighted the renewed momentum behind ongoing efforts by both governments to recalibrate bilateral economic relations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This follows CCBC\u2019s previous hosting of H.E.

Delegates from across business, education, and related sectors travelled to Beijing and Shanghai to strengthen bilateral engagement, deepen market understanding, and advance practical cooperation in priority areas of the Canada\u2013China relationship.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Building on previous education delegations, the Education Mission focused on advancing institutional collaboration through Canada\u2013China education conferences, school and campus visits, and tailored matchmaking meetings with Chinese universities, secondary schools, education agencies, and government-affiliated organizations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CCBC\u2019s first-ever Agri-food Mission supported commercial engagement through meetings with key regulators, targeted B2B matchmaking with industry associations, participation in major trade platforms, and site visits to better understand logistics, distribution, and market access dynamics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Through these missions, participants gained direct access to key stakeholders, actionable market insights, and opportunities to build long-term partnerships. Both delegations also participated in CCBC\u2019s Annual General Meeting, reinforcing the Council\u2019s role in convening dialogue and supporting constructive, commercially focused engagement between Canada and China.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ccbc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CFNA_full-room.jpg” title_text=”CFNA_full room” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” align=”right” show_in_lightbox=”on”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/ccbc.com\/ccbc-past-events\/ccbc-2025-canadian-agri-food-mission-to-china-recap-photos\/” button_text=”Find Out More About The CCBC 2025 Canadian Agri-Food Mission to China” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ccbc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Beijing-Panel.jpg” title_text=”Beijing Panel” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” align=”right” show_in_lightbox=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/ccbc.com\/ccbc-past-events\/ccbc-2025-canadian-education-mission-to-china-recap-photos\/” button_text=”Find Out More About The CCBC 2025 Canadian Education Mission to China” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n The Canada China Business Council\u2019s 47th Annual General Meeting and Business Forum took place in Beijing on November 3, 2025, marking another successful edition of CCBC\u2019s flagship event.
