B.C. premier David Eby will be visiting Japan , South Korea and Malaysia during the trade mission.

Eby said the government has two goals for the trip, one is to meet with existing customers and investors overseas.

The province has historically been playing catch-up in the Asia-Pacific region with competitors such as Australia having a deeper presence.

Trade to Japan has also seen trade to Japan decline by one-fifth and South Korea by 11 per cent .

Finlayson said the key for this trip is to try to reverse that trend.

“A lot of companies are choosing not to invest and expand in B.C. for a mix of different reasons,” he said.
