The trade mission takes place from June 4 to June 8, 2012.
“This year, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Canada-Russia diplomatic relations, we are committed to a deeper trade and investment relationship with Russia”
Representatives of Stans Energy Corp, including Robert Mackay, CEO and President, and Boris Aryev, COO, will be traveling with the Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway. Delegates on the trade mission will begin their visit in St. Petersburg and then travel to Moscow, where Minister Fast will join them on June 6.
"We are extremely honoured and privileged to be chosen by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service to participate in this governmental initiative to strengthen and deepen bilateral business ties between Canada and Russia. Given our strong working relationships with numerous Russian technical and business organizations, we feel that this is an excellent opportunity for management to make Stans more widely known to international stakeholders. By creating new prospects for additional co-operation, our participation in this event will aid Stans in becoming one of the pre-eminent global suppliers of rare earth elements to end users. We look forward to close collaboration with all the government representatives involved," states Robert Mackay.
"This year, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Canada-Russia diplomatic relations, we are committed to a deeper trade and investment relationship with Russia," said Minister Fast. "In what remains a fragile global economic climate, our government is committed to ensuring Canadian workers have access to priority markets around the world. That is why we continue to pursue deeper ties with the world's largest, most dynamic and fastest growing markets as part of the most ambitious trade expansion plans in Canadian history."
The Canada-Russia bilateral trade relationship totaled $2.78 billion in 2011. Over the past 10 years, Russia has emerged as one of Canada's most important trading partners with Canadian merchandise export to Russia growing to $1.5 billion in 2011 from $179 million in 1999. Last December, Canada was a strong supporter of Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization.
