Prime Minister announces even closer cooperation with Israel


OTTAWA, April 2, 2019 /CNW/ - The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, met with the President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Israel, and the two countries' long history as close friends, steadfast allies, and partners in international organizations.

During the visit, Prime Minister Trudeau and President Rivlin discussed the benefits of progressive trade, and how the updated Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA) will help grow our economies and create good jobs and new opportunities for people and businesses in both our countries. CIFTA will allow for expanded bilateral trade and investment and support Canada's efforts to diversify our export markets.

In addition, Canada and Israel have launched discussions on a youth mobility agreement. The agreement would allow young people from both countries to work when they travel to each other's country, which would deepen our countries' strong people-to-people ties and help more young people gain valuable international work experience.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Rivlin agreed on the need to always speak out in the strongest possible terms against anti-Semitism wherever it occurs, and to confront and counter all forms of hatred.

By updating the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, and exploring a youth mobility agreement, we are setting up both of our countries for future prosperity and growth, creating new jobs, and paving the way for an even closer Canada-Israel relationship."
