The province has opened a new trade office in New Delhi and says it will increase the trade and investment opportunities between Alberta and India.
The government says Alberta's exports to India average more than $102 M per year and the new office will provide resources on the ground to bring companies in both areas together.
"We know there is strong opportunity and interest from all sides to increase the trade and investment relationship between Alberta and India. This new office will help us deliver on our Building Alberta Plan to create those new trade opportunities while attracting investment, economic growth and jobs to Alberta," said Alison Redford, Premier of Alberta .
The premier is on a trade mission to the country and on Monday signed deals with two states to increase trade relations.
She will tour India for the rest of the week and then head to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum.
