Canadian group pushes Atlantic corridor

Transport and education officials from four Canadian provinces are holding a series of business meetings, tours, presentations and discussions with their Vietnamese counterparts during a trade mission in Vung Tau, HCM City, Hai Phong and Hanoi.

“The Government of Canada and the four Atlantic provinces view Atlantic Canada’s strategic position as a key corridor for international commerce,” said Peter MacKay, Canada’s Minister of National Defence.

“This mission will help facilitate business and educational linkages and opportunities between our region and this burgeoning economy,” said Nova Scotia ’s Premier Darrell Dexter.

The trade mission organised by the Government of Canada through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Atlantic Canada comprises four provinces, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island will end on December 3.
