Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit China from Tuesday to Saturday

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting with top Chinese leaders in Beijing on Thursday, hoping to repair a long acrimonious relationship as he pulls away from traditional ally the United States.

Carney is the first Canadian leader to visit China in eight years and has said the two countries are at a "turning point" in their strained relations.
