China and Canada further deepen cooperation in the field of agricultural biotechnology

Han Changfu welcomed McCauley's visit to China. Han Changfu said that China and Canada are both big agricultural countries with strong agricultural complementarities and great potential for cooperation. China is advancing the green development of agriculture and hopes to strengthen the scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation with the focus on agricultural green development and promote the sustainable development of agriculture. China and Canada can further strengthen fishery cooperation, promote joint research on planting industries such as soybeans and rice, and promote trade and investment in agricultural products between China and Canada.

Macquarie fully agrees with the Chinese agricultural cooperation proposal. He said that Canada is willing to work with China to deepen agricultural cooperation between the two countries and achieve win-win cooperation.

After the meeting, the two sides signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Agricultural Biotechnology Products between the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to further deepen Sino-Canada cooperation in the field of agricultural biotechnology.
