Premier Wynne Departs on India Trade Mission

Premier Kathleen Wynne is travelling to India today to strengthen economic, political and cultural ties with the world’s third-largest economy.

From January 31 to February 5, the Premier will lead a delegation of experts from Ontario’s sustainable development and urban infrastructure, business, and higher education sectors across India to promote Ontario’s business advantage and create opportunities for new partnerships. The delegation will visit four cities — New Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Mumbai — and will formalize agreements and memorandums of understanding within the research, infrastructure, technology, science and health sectors.

While in India, Premier Wynne will also meet with political and cultural leaders to build new relationships, strengthen existing ones and examine areas for future cooperation.
