HALIFAX — China’s ambassador to Canada says his country hopes the U.S., Canada and Mexico can “make achievements” in ongoing NAFTA talks. Speaking to reporters after meeting with Nova Scotia’s cabinet, Ambassador Lu Shaye said that China has taken “close notice” of North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations. “NAFTA is very effective to regulate the trade relations between these three countries,” Lu said through a translator. Lu was asked Tuesday whether such a move would jeopardize potential trade talks between the two countries. McNeil was asked how important a formalized free trade deal with China would be for his province.
