China and Canada are willing to conduct feasibility studies toward a free trade agreement in an open and pragmatic manner, Premier Li Keqiang said after meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Monday.

Trudeau, who took office two years ago, is making his second official visit to China from Sunday to Thursday.

Li said the relations between the two countries are in a "golden age" and that they should further diversify cooperation because they share great complementary advantages.
