March 10, 2014 - Santiago, Chile – Canada Revenue Agency
The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, met today with the incoming Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Heraldo Muñoz. The two discussed the success of current economic links between Canada and Chile, as well as the importance of ongoing international cooperation and collaboration on a broad range of bilateral issues.
For more than 70 years, Canada and Chile have shared diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties. Last May, the outgoing President Sebastián Piñera was in Ottawa to sign the renewal of the Canada-Chile Strategic Partnership Framework. With emphasis on trade liberalization and support for various sectors, the two countries have opened new markets, creating new opportunities for businesses and jobs in both Canada and Chile.
While in Chile, Minister Findlay will represent the Government of Canada at the inauguration ceremony of President Michelle Bachelet in Valparaiso on March 11, 2014.
