The ministry said in a statement on Friday that Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang refuted allegations that the Chinese embassy and consulates in Canada were trying to interfere in Canadian elections.
Qin said the alleged interference was “completely false and absurd” and that China firmly opposes it.
“The Canadian side should take practical measures to ensure the normal performance of duties by Chinese diplomatic missions in Canada, and prevent rumors and speculations from interfering with relations between the two countries,” it said.
