Canadian trade delegation to visit India in Oct

New Delhi, July 1 (KNN) Canada’s Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development Mary Ng will lead a five-day trade mission to India this October.

The Northern American country aims to deepen its economic engagement with India and this visit is based on that. 

In an announcement, she said that she will lead the Team Canada Trade Mission to India from October 9 to 13, which will be followed by another to Japan in late October.

“Join me on these great opportunities to access the fastest-growing region in the world - the Indo-Pacific,” she said.

Inviting interest in the mission, the Trade Commissioner Service or TCS said that Mumbai was confirmed as a location for the trip though other cities could potentially be added.

Canada recognises India as a priority market with great potential for growth and success for Canadian companies of all sizes.

“Building off strong people-to-people ties, the Government of Canada is putting in place the conditions to facilitate greater commercial ties, including through the negotiation of an Early Progress Trade Agreement,” a description of the event noted.

The proposed trade mission was originally announced by Ng at an event organised by the Canada-India Business Council in Toronto in May this year. 

She did so in the presence of Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal who was on a bilateral visit to Canada at the time. (KNN Bureau)
