Canada’s Place in the World
Canada’s prosperity relies on global stability, the rules-based multilateral trading system, cooperation among like-minded partners and respect for sovereign states.
As a relatively small, open economy, Canada benefits from trade and investment liberalization.
Areas of focus include:
North America
Working closely with the United States and Mexico to strengthen North American competitiveness and security.
International Trade
Enhancing Canada’s existing economic partnerships while seeking new opportunities to trade with emerging markets.
Global Affairs
Supporting international institutions that contribute to global peace and prosperity.
The Canada-US Partnership
Canadian trade and investment support more than 2 million American jobs, generate nearly USD $300 billion in exports, and benefit thousands of communities throughout the country. The deep economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada is built on shared values, close people-to-people ties, and a robust trade agreement – the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) – which provides the foundation for a more competitive North America.
