The outreach comes as Canada and the EUs trade talks with the US have dragged on and continue to be stuck on several issues ranging from autos to agriculture.

We need to explore how far, how deep we can go in the Pacific area with other countries, EU competition chief Teresa Ribera told Bloomberg TV on Monday from Beijing, where she is visiting for climate-focused talks with Chinese officials.
