OTTAWA, ON, - The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, will travel to Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines to advance Canada's agricultural trade interests in the Indo-Pacific.
The Indo-Pacific region represents significant opportunities for growing the Canadian economy. Encompassing 40 economies, over four billion people and $47.19 trillion in economic activity, it is the world's fastest growing region and home to six of Canada's top 13 trading partners. Strengthening collaboration with regional partners will help Canada diversify trade and become the strongest economy in the G7.
During the trip, Minister MacDonald will meet with senior government officials, Canadian and local business leaders, and other important stakeholders to promote Canadian agricultural and agri-food products, strengthen bilateral relationships, and explore opportunities of mutual interest in key Indo-Pacific markets.
