HALIFAX - Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter will leave this weekend on a trade mission to Vietnam.
Dexter will join key players in the transportation and education sectors for an Atlantic Gateway initiative designed to forge business ties with the Asian country.
The premier says Vietnam is rapidly growing hub for container traffic and manufacturing and Halifax is positioned to be a key gateway to the North America for their products.
The trade mission is being led by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
A number of education officials will accompany the mission to market the province's colleges and universities as a destination for Vietnamese students studying abroad.
The trade mission will go from Sunday to Dec. 3 and include stops in Ho-Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
