The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Honourable Siobhan Coady, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance, are conducting a trade mission to the United Kingdom this week to meet with senior government officials and business leaders. The goal is to strengthen connections as Newfoundland and Labrador looks to do more business abroad.

Activities include meeting with the Honourable Ralph Goodale, High Commissioner for Canada in the United Kingdom, the Canada-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, and representatives from various business sectors, including oceans, fisheries, mining, natural resources and finance, as well as attending an event at the London Stock Exchange.

They will also visit Wandsworth Cemetery, the final resting place for several soldiers from our province, and Beatrix Potter School as children from the school tend to the graves.

The trade development opportunity is part of the broader work of the ongoing Buy From Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada campaign launched last month in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian products entering the American market.
