A delegation from India, which Canada’s government is billing as the largest ever, will arrive this week to discuss trade and investment.
The Canadian Press reports that Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will be accompanied by more than 100 senior business representatives from industries such as mining, energy, automotive and aerospace during the visit, which takes place Monday to Wednesday, according to a release from the ministry.
The release says Goyal will meet with Canada’s minister of international trade, Maninder Sidhu, to continue discussions about a Comprehensive Economic and Partnership Agreement between the two countries, and explore new opportunities.
Goyal is also expected to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, as well as CEOs of leading companies, startups and pension funds.
Global Affairs \Canada says Sidhu is scheduled to meet with Goyal on Monday morning in Ottawa. A social media post from Canada Trade, which provides updates from the government on international trade, says Goyal has called the group “the largest-ever business delegation to go from India to any country.”
