CANADA VISIT

President Hu Jintao will attend the summit in Toronto on June 26 and 27 after a state visit to Canada from June 23, the first such visit by a Chinese head of state for five years.

As the two countries were marking the 40th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic ties, "the visit is a big event and is of great significance for the China-Canada relationship," said Cui.

Hu is scheduled to meet with Canadian Governor-General Michaelle Jean and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the two sides would sign a series of deals, said Cui.

Cui said the two countries would discuss trade, culture, education and energy issues and make some important announcements, including a new description of bilateral ties and trade targets.

China-Canada trade hit 29.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2009, and China has become Canada's second largest trade partner while Canada is China's 13th largest trade partner.

Harper made his maiden visit to China as Canadian prime minister at the end of 2009, and the two countries signed a joint statement and four cooperative documents.
