The Honourable J. A. MacKinnon, Minister of Trade and Commerce, is planning to leave Canada February fifth for a visit to Mexico and Central America. He plans to sign a trade agreement in Mexico and engage in trade discussions in the Central American countries. The Minister would like to extend his trip to Colombia and it would be appreciated if you would approach the Colombian Government to ascertain whether such a visit would be welcome and opportune and whether Colombia would be prepared to consider consolidating our commercial relations by the conclusion of a trade agreement providing for the exchange of most-favoured-nation treatment.1 Tentative plans provide for the mission to arrive in Bogota February twentieth from Panama. The Canadian Trade Commissioner in Bogota has details of the party. If the visit is not opportune, the Minister would like to visit Colombia later this year. | |
