At a press conference in Mumbai on Thursday, B.C. Premier David Eby said mining had emerged as the leading focus of the province’s trade mission to India, with strong interest in projects across B.C. He said Indian companies were also closely watching LNG opportunities as the country looks to meet rising energy demand while reducing emissions. Eby rejected suggestions that security concerns should derail economic ties, saying criminal investigations could proceed alongside efforts to grow B.C.’s economy.
