Stephen Harper is set to meet with the Chinese president and visit the Great Wall of China to honour the Canadian soldiers that died during World War 2. He will also be visited South Korea, where he will become the first Canadian Prime Minister to address the South Korean National Assembly. The visit is important itself to have ties with the President, as China is Canada’s 2nd largest trading partner next to the United States. Many people, like Jack Layton believe this trip is long overdue, and that Canada has a lot of ground to make up. This trip is also important to make Canada’s presence more visible in China. They will be discussing various issues from human rights to energy and trade.
