Capital Business: Canada, Jordan sign free trade agreement

By Agence France Presse


OTTAWA, Jun 29 - Canada on Sunday signed a free trade agreement with Jordan, Canadian Minister of International Trade Stockwell Day said.

The agreement is the first free trade deal between Canada and an Arab nation.

"Following the visit by King Abdullah II to Canada in July 2007, our countries have made significant progress in strengthening trade and investment," Day said.

Three other agreements were also signed.

Two of the deals promote greater cooperation between the two countries on employment and environmental issues and the third promotes and protects foreign investment. (more)
