B.C. pursues new markets in India as diplomacy takes a back seat to trade

B.C. Premier David Eby boarded a flight for India on Friday, embarking on a trade mission to a country that only recently was in a serious diplomatic dispute with Canada.

As far as trade missions go, this trip is a no-frills excursion. There are no industry delegates tagging along, and no ribbon-cutting photo ops planned. The Premier’s entourage includes his Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth, Ravi Kahlon, and a few staff members.
