Chairman Jiwu WANG welcomed the visit of former Prime Minister Harper, Ambassador McCallum and their entourage.

Chairman Jiwu WANG elaborated how TusHoldings was promoting cooperation with the British Commonwealth of Nations by giving the examples of investing in TusPark Cambridge, cooperating with the University of New South Wales, Australia, and cooperating with India and Pakistan, and building incubators in Malaysia and Egypt. “As a comprehensive global organization, TusHoldings has set up 300 innovation bases around the world, and invested in or controlled 12 listed companies in Mainland China, the United States, Canada and Hong Kong, with its industrial layout covering almost all strategic emerging industries.” Chairman Jiwu WANG said, “As an increasingly internationally influential company, we look forward to expanding cooperation with Canada and are willing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of former Prime Minister Harper, Ambassador McCallum and their entourage.”


President Changming YAN introduced the development of Chinese students in Canada in recent years. According to him, the increase in the number of Chinese students studying in Canada is a sign of successful linking between China and Canada. He expressed gratitude to former Prime Minister Harper for his contribution during his tenure and proposed that in the face of changes, we should discover how to establish a new Chinese-Canadian relationship and work hard to find new ways and reach a new consensus.


Former Prime Minister Harper was glad that this was the sixth time he had come to China and the second time he had come to TusHoldings. He believed that China and Canada had established good relations in the fields of culture, commerce and education, and the two sides would establish more bilateral cooperation based on the principle of “mutual assistance and win-win cooperation”. “This time, we hope to discuss more about the cooperation in the fields of energy, education, agriculture and high technology, and create more cooperation opportunities for both sides to achieve greater results.”


Ambassador McCallum believed that in the future, Canada and China would strengthen cooperation in agriculture, energy and tourism. Attraction of direct investments from China and China’s purchase of more products and services from Canada are good ways of cooperation.


Xiaoping XU, who once studied in Canada, regarded Canada as his second hometown. He said that he was deeply impressed by Canada’s high-quality, complete education system. “Now we should continue to promote cooperation between China and Canada in the fields of education and innovation.”
