BEIJING, Jan 14 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Mark ‍Carney is visiting Beijing to reset what is a complex ‌bilateral relationship, Foreign ‌Minister Anita Anand told reporters on Wednesday at the start ​of the trip.

Anand said ‍talks about ​Chinese restrictions ​on Canadian canola ‍exports had been productive and said work on the matter would ‍continue. Canada would continue to hold what ‍she ‍called difficult ​conversations with ​China ⁠and would ‌talk about human rights, she added.
