Commenting on her visit to the region, Ng said, “I am thrilled to lead this trade mission, as it will strengthen the long history of collaboration and trade between Canada and Caribbean countries. During the mission, Canadian businesses will network, learn about trade opportunities and build stronger bridges to grow our economies, create jobs, and benefit people across our nations”.
In a release from the Government of Canada, it was stated that the Caribbean is rich in diversity, natural resources and shares a mutual interest with Canada in further developing green and blue economies.
“Growing Canadian partnerships with members of the Caribbean Community allows Canadians to promote their businesses and for our nations to work together to build sustainable recoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Caribbean is poised for a post COVID-19 economic recovery with opportunities for growth in green infrastructure, renewable energy, climate resilience, financial services, extractives, tourism and education.”
The Canadian Government also stated that the trade mission will give new and experienced Canadian exporters the chance to explore the growing number of sustainable business opportunities in clean technology and green infrastructure in the region.
It added that the Canada-Caribbean Trade Mission will help grow partnerships with members of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), promote Canadian businesses in key sectors and help build a path to sustainable recovery from the pandemic.
