Speaking through an interpreter, Xi said, “Everything we decided has been leaked to the papers that’s not appropriate… and that’s not the way the conversation was conducted if there is sincerity on your part…”
The Canadian Prime Minister is heard stating that there was free, open and frank dialogue and that there will be things the two countries disagree on.
“We will continue to help…work constructively together but there will be many things we will disagree on,” Trudeau said.
The video ends with Xi Jinping saying “let’s create the conditions first”.
The two leaders shook hands after the brief conversation.
