Gerald Keddy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade, concluded a successful visit to India, where he opened a new Canadian trade office in Kolkata, the country’s fourth-largest city and a dynamic business, transportation and financial hub. This new office will give Canadian companies a competitive edge and, along with existing trade offices, will provide market intelligence and expert advice to help Canadian companies take advantage of trade and investment opportunities.

Mr. Keddy also attended several meetings in New Delhi on the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Development Round, to support an ambitious and balanced outcome to the Doha negotiations. Canadian agricultural producers, manufacturers and service providers stand to benefit greatly from the expanded access to global markets and strengthened trade rules arising from successful negotiations.
