"The United States and Canada are each other's best customer. We enjoy the richest, deepest, and broadest economic relationship the world has ever seen," Kumar stated.

The United States is the largest export market for every Canadian province, and Canada is the largest export market for at least 36 of the 50 US states.

RepCAN, a multi-sector matchmaker/exhibit, is designed to provide U.S. export-ready, small-to-medium sized companies opportunities to meet with potential customers in Canada's three primary regional markets. RepCAN offers new-to-export firms the opportunity to gain international experience in a low-risk market with high-return potential.

While in Montreal, Kumar took the opportunity to engage in discussions with both US and Canadian businesses about the importance of President Obama's National Export Initiative (NEI), which is an initiative to double US exports in five years.
