Premiers Launch Trade Forum With SE U.S. States

The Southeastern states, which include Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, consider Canada their biggest trading partner. Roughly $50 billion flow between the region and Canada each year. The alliance wants to bolster existing trade in the forestry, energy, transport and pharmaceutical sectors, while facilitating export among second-tier firms without trade muscle. This partnership, Charest said, is modeled after a similar friendship between the Southeast and Japan. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=7373c61d-0efd-4342-b884-11c3cf93413b
