B.C. Premier Eby leaving Saturday on trade mission to China
He will seek Chinese investment, tourism and lower seafood tariffs while returning early to finalize a major projects agreement with Ottawa.
- On Saturday, Premier David Eby begins his first trade mission to China, with scheduled visits to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to diversify the province's trade relationships.
- Seeking to reduce reliance on the United States, Eby targets doubling trade to non-U.S. markets within the next 10 years, he said Thursday.
- The mission prioritizes investment in LNG Canada's phase 2 and Chinese tourism worth $500 million annually, while Eby seeks to see China drop tariffs on seafood.
- Returning early on July 2, Eby will meet Prime Minister Mark Carney to finalize a memorandum of understanding on major projects negotiations.
- The meeting timing coincides with the day after Alberta's deadline for a pipeline proposal to B.C.'s coast, which Eby has criticized for excluding the province from negotiations.
