  • Germany president's visit creates rare opportunity for business: Greater Vancouver Board of Trade CEO

The C-E-O of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade says a visit from Germany's president creates a "rare" opportunity for Canadian businesses to speak directly with the leader of a key trade partner.

Bridgitte Anderson hosted a roundtable discussion Tuesday headlined by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The discussion included about 20 delegates from both Germany and Canada.

The conversation mainly focused on the topics of Indigenous reconciliation, the net-zero economy and reorganizing supply chains in the Indo-Pacific region.
