N.B. Premier on trade mission to India with PM
New Brunswick’s Premier will join Prime Minister Mark Carney on a trade mission to India.
The mission to the Indo-Pacific region will include stops in Mumbai and New Delhi.
Susan Holt will join the entourage in their efforts to strengthen trade, attract investment and form more partnerships in areas including technology, manufacturing, forestry and education.
India is one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies and an increasingly important partner for New Brunswick. In 2024, New Brunswick exported about $190 million in goods and services to India.
“India represents a significant opportunity for New Brunswick businesses, institutions and workers,” said Holt. “As we look at diversifying our markets in the face of President Trump’s illegal tariffs, we’re perfectly positioned to build on the relationships New Brunswick has in India. Working alongside the prime minister and our federal partners, we can diversify our markets, strengthen long-term relationships and create new opportunities for growth here at home.”
The team will be in India from February 26 to March 1.
