Expanding and strengthening trading relationships abroad means real jobs here at home. The Government of British Columbia is acting to make sure that B.C. businesses are first in line to take advantage of the growing market opportunities in Asia. The upcoming Jobs and Trade Mission to China, Japan and Korea will open up new doors, connect B.C. businesses with Asian demand, and keep B.C.’s economy strong and growing.
From November 21st to December 3rd, Premier Christy Clark will lead a Trade Mission focused on promoting the province’s natural gas reserves and supplying clean energy products that create jobs in B.C. In her third major trade mission to Asia, Premier Clark is continuing to develop relationships with B.C.’s priority trading partners.
