British Columbia Premier David Eby concludes his productive six-day trip to India, where discussions with Indian companies have revolved around accessing British Columbia’s lucrative mining and energy sectors. Eby revealed that Indian firms have expressed interest in partnering with local mining companies and seeking government assistance in facilitating such connections. Energy has also emerged as a key focus, with India showing significant interest in British Columbia’s natural gas reserves, particularly in liquefied natural gas projects nearing investment decisions.
Addressing concerns raised by reports linking an India-based crime group to government involvement, Eby clarified that the referenced paragraph was based on publicly available news reports and not a classified RCMP intelligence document. The delegation, including Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon, visited various cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Bangalore to strengthen ties and explore potential collaborations.
