  • Premier Eby heads to Asia for trade mission

Premier David Eby leaves today for a trade mission to Asia -- but the nearly two-week trip does not include a stop in China.

Eby, cabinet ministers Josie Osborne and Brenda Bailey, and minister of state for trade, Jagrup Brar, will travel to Japan, Korea, Singapore and Vietnam.

A statement from the premier's office says the trade mission to the world's fastest growing economic zone will support B-C trade and investment in the Indo-Pacific.

Meetings are set with government and economic leaders in all four countries.
