REGINA, Sask. — Minister of Trade and Export Development Warren Kaeding is leading a mission to India.
The purpose of the mission is to advance trade and investment opportunities with the country, according to Sask. Trade and Export Development.
Minister of Advanced Education Ken Cheveldayoff will join the delegation to meet with several post-secondary institutions. The mission runs from Oct. 10 to 16.
While in India, Kaeding will meet with business leaders, stakeholders and government officials focused on food security, critical minerals, energy and sustainability.
Cheveldayoff's meetings will advance discussions with higher education government counterparts, as well as leading post-secondary and research institutions, deepening existing relationships and strengthening co-operation in areas of mutual interest, according to Sask. Advanced Education. The mission will promote Saskatchewan's agricultural expertise, expand research and academic collaboration and position the province as a partner of choice in addressing complex global challenges, the press release states.
Both Ministers will represent Saskatchewan as part of the federal government's Team Canada Trade Mission programming on Oct. 14 in Mumbai.
Representatives from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) will also be attending.
"As USask continues to develop its international partnerships, it's vital we grow our ongoing academic and industry relationships and support Saskatchewan's trade priorities," USask vice-president of Research Baljit Singh said.
"We are excited to once again work with the Government of Saskatchewan and partner in this exciting mission to India."
