Provincial premier to open trade office in India

The premier of Canada’s wealthy province of Alberta is on her way to India to open a trade office as part of her efforts to reduce a heavy reliance on trade with the U.S. Alberta is an oil and grain-producing province and already has a trade relationship with India, primarily based on agriculture.

Premier Alison Redford and her team will attend a petroleum conference in New Delhi and open the Alberta trade office located inside the Canadian Embassy. Several Canadian provinces have trade offices in locations around the world.

Alberta is opening five other new ones in California, Chicago, Brazil, Singapore, and China.
