Canadian PM to attend APEC

The visit of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to China in November was reconfirmed after speculation that it might be canceled after recent violence in Canada.

A senior Chinese diplomat confirmed that Harper will be in Beijing to attend the November APEC leaders meeting.

The confirmation followed comments from Harper's office this week suggesting that he had canceled plans to attend the APEC meeting in the wake of terror attacks in Canada that claimed the lives of two soldiers.
