Canada has signalled that it will not, like the U.S., move to hamper trade with Bangladesh as a result of a recent factory collapse that killed over a thousand garment workers in April.
Meeting in Brunei on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 20th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Ministerial Meeting, Foreign Minister John Baird reportedly told his Bangladeshi counterpart, Dipu Moni, that Canada did not intend on taking any steps to reduce the bilateral trade between the two countries, which last year amounted to US$1.6 billion
"Canada does not believe that workers in the sector should be punished through any kind of trade restrictions," Baird is quoted as saying in a press release from the Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry.
