He said, “I learn in Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan, that Canada has completed its domestic approval procedures on Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA). China welcomes the move and positively evaluates the Canadian government’s efforts to promote FIPA to come into force. China is looking forward to receiving Canada’s diplomatic note in this regard to make it come into force as soon as possible.
