In 2007 Canada was the tenth most frequent user of the Panama Canal and that same year bilateral trade reached 115 million dollars.
"This agreement is an important step in creating a strong economic partnership between our two countries," said the Minister of Trade of Canada, Michael Fortier, during a luncheon with members of the Canadian business community at the Miraflores visitors' center.
The Canadian Minister had previously met for three hours with President Martin Torrijos as a part of his tour of Mexico, Panama and Ecuador to seek new bilateral trade opportunities.
