But that visit, which concluded earlier this week with a potentially important trade deal between the two countries, was not officially at the invitation of Xi. On September 23, Li and Carney met in person in New York City at a United Nations General Assembly session. When Carney finally arrived in Beijing last week, he also met with Li, before the final touches on the trade deal were resolved.
