This week, the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, will participate in the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meeting, which will be held in Lima, Peru, from November 13 to 16, 2024.

This meeting will provide an opportunity for Canada to advance its international trade and investment priorities, including:

  • advocating for inclusive trade, economic empowerment and growth that benefits everyone
  • promoting sustainable and interconnected growth
  • supporting the rules-based multilateral trading system, with the WTO at its core
  • advancing efforts toward a reformed and modernized WTO that ensures fair competition, a level playing field for businesses and sustainable and inclusive trade so that it remains relevant in an ever-changing world.

While in Lima, the Minister will meet with international partners and Canadian business representatives to discuss further collaboration on trade and investment. She will also highlight key milestones in the Canada-Peru bilateral relationship, including the 15-year anniversary of the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement as well as the 80-year anniversary of Canada-Peru diplomatic relations; both of which continue to benefit a wide range of Canadian exporters and service providers from coast to coast to coast.
