The Premiers of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan today opened the new Shanghai-based Western Canada Trade and Investment Office, advancing Western Canada’s interests and bolstering economic ties in China.
The Western Canada Trade and Investment Office will promote Western Canada’s advanced industries including green technology, natural resources, agri-food and agriculture. It will also represent the three provinces in a number of other priority sectors, including education, tourism and investment attraction. Shanghai was selected, as it is China’s trade and financial hub, the world’s second busiest port and has a population of more than 20 million people.
