In Ottawa, accompanied by Ambassador Carlos Joaquín González, Undersecretary Gutiérrez Romano will meet with his counterpart Rob Stewart, Undersecretary of Foreign Trade of Canada, Aaron Fowler, Associate Deputy Minister and Deputy Commissioner of Trade, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada.

The objectives are to provide certainty, resolve doubts about the state of the country’s labor and macroeconomic market, provide guidance on the legal and logistical process for commercial operations, as well as listen to proposals for improving our assistance framework to provide better step-by-step support for the materialization of investments.
