Canada’s Carney to raise election meddling concerns in talks with China’s Xi

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Tuesday that he would stress the importance of “non-interference in our affairs by China” when he meets President Xi Jinping later this month.

A 2025 public inquiry into allegations of election meddling identified China as “the most active perpetrator of foreign interference targeting Canada’s democratic institutions”.

Carney confirmed he would meet Xi at the November 18-19 Apec summit and would discuss “many things”, including efforts to broaden bilateral trade.
