CCCA Honorary Chairman Victor Oh Reconnects with Foreign Minister Wang Yi During His Canada Visit

At the invitation of Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi paid an official visit to Canada from May 28 to 30, 2026 — the first visit by a Chinese foreign minister in ten years. During the visit he met with Prime Minister Mark Carney, held talks with Minister Anand, and met with former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

Victor Oh, Honorary Chairman of the Canadian Chinese Construction Association and a former Canadian senator, has long worked to support newcomer integration and people-to-people exchange between Canada and China. According to his own social media post, he reconnected with Minister Wang Yi during the visit — having hosted him at the Canadian Parliament years earlier — and asked him to sign a photo he had kept for many years.

As a non-profit industry organization, the CCCA welcomes the normalization of trade and cultural exchange between the two countries, and hopes this momentum will create more room for practical cooperation across Canada's construction and related sectors.
