Minister Ng advances cooperation with G7 partners at trade and investment ministerial meeting
September 15, 2022 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada
International collaboration is key to ensuring a resilient, sustainable, and inclusive
economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, guided by a strong rules-based
international trading system. Such collaboration, including close cooperation with G7
partners, is also an important part of the coordinated trade-related responses to
Russia’s unprovoked and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
On September 14-15, the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade, Export
Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, participated in the G7 Trade
and Investment Ministers’ Meeting, hosted in Neuhardenberg, Germany, by Robert
Habeck, Germany’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
At the meeting, Minister Ng encouraged the continued coordination of G7 members to
ensure the effectiveness of ongoing economic sanctions against Russia, support
Ukraine’s economic recovery, and address the global challenges of food and energy
security and supply chain disruptions.
Minister Ng spoke with Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic
Development and Trade, Yulia Svyrydenko, and reaffirmed Canada’s unwavering
support for the Ukrainian people. She also highlighted the progress made on the
modernization of the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement as a means of supporting
Ukraine’s long-term recovery and international trade policy interests.
The minister reiterated Canada’s support for the trade and investment priorities of
Germany’s current G7 presidency. These include cooperative efforts on WTO reform,
the modernization of international trade rules, the sustainability and resiliency of supply
chains, and market distortions related to industrial subsidies and the practices of State-
Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
G7 members also discussed how they can work together to raise labour and
environmental standards, ensure intellectual property rights, and address economic
coercion. Minister Ng emphasized the importance of G7 members working together to
advance key WTO reform priorities ahead of the 13th WTO Ministerial Conference,
including addressing the impasse on the organization’s Appellate Body and preparing
for future pandemics.
Minister Ng also held bilateral meetings with other counterparts. She met with Valdis
Dombrovskis, Executive Vice-President Commissioner for Trade from the EU and
Olivier Becht, Minister for Foreign Trade, Attractiveness and French Nationals Abroad
from France to build on the opportunities that CETA continues to create on both sides of
the Atlantic. In her meeting with Yasutoshi Nishimura, Minister of Economy, Trade and
Industry and Kenji Yamada, State Minister for Foreign Affairs from Japan, the Minister
highlighted Canada’s efforts to further increase its presence in the Indo-Pacific, building
on the success of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific
Partnership.
