She also met with South Korean officials as well as fish and seafood industry representatives to further explore and leverage important opportunities resulting from an impending Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement.
The Government of Canada recently announced that Canada and the Republic of Korea had concluded negotiations for a bilateral free trade agreement.
The landmark agreement constitutes Canada’s first free trade agreement in the Asia-Pacific region and will provide new access for Canadian businesses and workers.
For fisheries, it promises many important benefits, including duty-free access that will give Canadian products preferential access to the South Korean market and will create a level playing field for Canadians with South Korea’s other Free Trade Agreement partners.
