Canada and the United States are invested in one of the most productive, collaborative, and mutually beneficial bilateral relationships in the world. It is a partnership of neighbours, forged by a shared border, democratic values, deep people-to-people connections, and multi-layered economic and security ties.
The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring a strong, inclusive and sustainable economic recovery, while creating jobs and generating growth by deepening commercial ties with fast-growing markets, such as the Philippines.
To build a more resilient and competitive economy, the Government of Canada is committed to working alongside Canadian businesses to increase sustainability, uphold human rights, and improve responsible business practices at home and abroad.

International collaboration is critical to strengthening the global rules-based trade system in support of a strong, sustainable, and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, Canada’s close cooperation with its G7 partners is key to leading coordinated trade-related responses to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
This week, Minister Ng concluded visits to India, Israel, the West Bank, and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) to strengthen Canada’s trade relationships with key partners. While working to grow and strengthen Canada’s trade relationships abroad, Minister Ng unequivocally condemned Russia’s egregious invasion, which is a direct challenge to the rules-based international order. She reaffirmed that Canada stands resolute against authoritarianism and with a free and democratic Ukraine, now and in the future.
