Minister Day today expanded Canada’s economic presence in India by opening a new trade office in Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat. This eighth trade office in India will help Canada to reach its objective of doubling the bilateral trade with this country over the next five years.

On September 24, the Minister ended his visit to Kazakhstan, where he made a number of announcements to advance Canada’s bilateral relationship with that country, including announcing that Canada has concluded negotiations on the text of a nuclear cooperation agreement.
