Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement Finalized
Canada and Indonesia have concluded negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), as announced by Minister Mary Ng. The agreement, part of Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy, aims to enhance trade opportunities for Canadian businesses, particularly in agriculture and processed foods. The signing of memorandums of understanding (MOUs) between Canadian and Indonesian companies indicates potential growth in bilateral trade. This development may present new export opportunities for Canadian food producers, especially in beef and AI-powered solutions for customer engagement in the region.
