EGGLETON TRAVELS TO POLAND AND RUSSIA
TO PROMOTE TRADE AND INVESTMENT
International Trade Minister Art Eggleton will visit Poland from October 13 to 15
and Russia from October 15 to 19 to strengthen trade and investment ties and
underscore Canada's strong support for ongoing economic reform in the region.
The Minister will be accompanied by 25 to 30 major companies in Poland, and
approximately 50 in Russia.
"Developing and expanding our trade is the key to job creation and economic growth
in Canada," said Mr. Eggleton. "I am very pleased that leading Canadian companies
will be vigorously pursuing trade and investment opportunities during this visit."
The Minister added that it is important to promote Canadian technology and
expertise in these significant European markets. "Poland and Russia are
undergoing extensive economic reforms. Canadian companies are finding valuable
clients and partners in both nations."
In Poland, the Minister will meet with senior government ministers and officials
to promote Canadian business interests. He will address the Canada-Poland Business
Club and attend a round table discussion, hosted by Poland's Minister for Foreign
Economic Relations, for the Canadian business delegation.
In Russia, Mr. Eggleton will meet a variety of political and business leaders in
Moscow and St. Petersburg, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for
Foreign Trade, Oleg Davydov. He will also co-chair the second annual meeting of
the Canada-Russia Intergovernmental Economic Commission (IEC) with Deputy Prime
Minister Alexandr Zaveryukha.
The commission was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Russian Prime
Minister Victor S. Chernomyrdin in Ottawa in October 1995 to promote trade and
economic co-operation. Business people representing several economic sectors in
Canada and Russia will attend the meeting.
Mr. Eggleton will also announce a technical co-operation project that will provide
the Hermitage Museum with special screens, made in Canada, that will protect the
collection from the harmful effects of the sun. Local officials and members of
the business and arts communities will attend the announcement.
