Canada to send trade mission to India later this year, says minister

Ottawa: Canada's Minister for International Trade Maninder Sidhu said that a "Team Canada" business delegation will arrive in India later this year to further boost the economic ties as the two countries look forward towards tripling and taking their trade to USD 50 billion by 2030.

Speaking at a joint press address with Union Minister Piyush Goyal, Sidhu recalled the sustained interactions between the Indian and Canadian leadership, along with the announcement of the uranium deal with Canada. He called Goyal's visit "very timely" and noted, "There's a lot of excitement to do more with India in terms of our economic partnership."

Sidhu said, "I'm proud to announce that I will be taking a Team Canada trade mission to India later this year to match the energy that Minister Goyal brought here to Canada."

He highlighted the importance of diversifying trade for Canada and said that the country is focussed on unlocking about USD 300 billion in non-US exports.
