According to the report, CEC &#8211; established in 2006, has been referred to as &#8220;a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/world\/eonomic-and-political-plans-will-be-at-play-during-trudeau-ma-meeting\/article31703382\/\">second foreign ministry<\/a>&#8221; for China&#8217;s communist regime.

The meeting with [CEC representative] was good. Seems like there is a lot to do together down the line. Probably not a fit for the current Potash private placement but he\u2019s a good strategic relationship as the mine develops.
