Canada And Jordan Strike Free Trade Pact

Posted on Thursday, August 28 at 09:57 by NAUWATCH

The Canadian government said on Tuesday it had wrapped up free trade negotiations with Jordan, along with parallel labour and environment agreements.

The deal will improve market access for Canadian agricultural products and industrial goods, and eliminate tariffs on the vast majority of current exports to Jordan, International Trade Minister Michael Fortier said.

"This bilateral free trade agreement will open up significant opportunities for Canadian companies in this growing economy, as well as elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa," Mr. Fortier said in a statement.
