B.C. Premier Eby Departs on Asia Trade Mission
Saturday, May 31, 2025, 7:20 pm
British Columbia’s premier has set off on an Asian trade mission amid domestic controversy over fast‐tracked laws. Despite Indigenous leaders withdrawing their support, Eby remains focused on securing new economic opportunities for the province. The trip aims to forge stronger international ties and boost trade relations.
RICHMOND - British Columbia Premier David Eby says he is confident that recent Indigenous opposition to certain fast-tracking laws will not affect the province's ability to attract investment from Asian trade partners.
Earlier this month, B.C. Premier David Eby announced he would be going to Asia on a trade mission, along with Agricultural Minister Lana Popham.
