OTTAWA - Canada has accepted the nomination of a new Chinese ambassador, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Thursday, describing the move as a step forward amid a major dispute between the two nations.
Her remarks are another indication that diplomatic relations might be warming up between the two nations after a crisis erupted last December. Freeland was speaking a day after Ottawa unveiled business consultant Dominic Barton as its new envoy to Beijing, filling a post that had remained empty for eight months.“China has now announced its new ambassador to Canada, so this is a positive step,” Freeland told a televised news conference in Waterloo, Ontario.
In Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang earlier said Cong would take up his post in due course.
