OTTAWA — Canada has its eyes on Asia and the lucrative trade markets in the Indo-Pacific region as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau heads to the region tomorrow for a week of international summits and bilateral meetings.
With stops in Indonesia, Singapore and India over six days, relationship building with Asian leaders is a critical goal.
It already has a trade pact with Singapore as both are signatories to the Pacific Rim trade deal usually referred to as the CPTPP. Trudeau's first stop will be in Jakarta on Sept. 4, where he will meet with Indonesia President Joko Widodo, and attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a group of 10 countries that as a group represent Canada's fourth largest merchandise trading partner.
"It's not the same environment that you had 10 years ago where Trudeau could go to these places and be on his high horse." "We have minimal growth in Canada, we have to find growth and that growth is happening here," he said. He said he is delighted the prime minister will put an emphasis on the green economy throughout his visit.
"We all have to, because the tragedy of climate change is it kills poor people and poor countries first," he said.
