Nearly a decade of negotiations–sometimes with talks coming to a standstill–and a number of tough decisions were behind Canada’s recently announced free trade agreement with South Korea.
The agreement will have implications for various industries throughout this country–however, one place where the benefits will be acutely felt is Port Saint John.
Port President and CEO Jim Quinn called it a historic moment. Some Canadian products in demand in Korean markets include blueberries, cranberries, and seafood.
This is Canada’s first free trade agreement with an Asian country.
