OTTAWA - China-Canada relations enjoy a solid foundation and bright prospects as the two economies are highly complementary and the two peoples have a long-time friendship, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said.

"My visit to Canada ... is to inaugurate the new annual dialogue between our heads of government and further promote mutual understanding and mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries," Li said in an article published in Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail on Wednesday.

Li recalled the traditional friendship between China and Canada, saying there have been more "handshakes across the Pacific" and his official visit aims to make policy communication between the two nations "more timely and effective."

"Mutual trust is the cornerstone of friendly relations and cooperation between China and Canada," Li said, voicing the hope of stepping up communication and coordination with Canada at various international forums to promote world peace and stability as well as help global economic recovery.

"The two sides should respect each other's concerns on issues of vital interests and the right to independently choose the path of development and overcome distractions to make sure that the ship of China-Canada relations power ahead on the right course," he added.

Citing figures to prove booming China-Canada trade, Li called economic cooperation and trade "the driving force of China-Canada relations."

Against the backdrop of a steep decline in global trade, China-Canada trade continued to rise last year and Chinese companies' investment in Canada increased by 126 percent in the same year, he said.

"China is willing to open its markets wider and further increase imports of high-quality agricultural and hi-tech products from Canada," he added.

"We welcome Canadian companies to make investments and do business in China to share the opportunities that come with China's economic growth."
