The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, is in the United States attending meetings in Washington, D.C. to highlight the opportunities in our province.

While in Washington, the Premier is participating in several meetings including a roundtable discussion with the Canadian-American Business Council following the Canada-U.S. engagement strategy launched earlier this year. Newfoundland and Labrador exports $4.6 billion in goods annually to the United States, particularly energy, seafood products and critical minerals.

Premier Furey and the Honourable Elvis Loveless, Minister of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture, will be attending Seafood Expo North America 2024 taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, from March 10 to 12.

Premier Furey is scheduled to speak at the Newfoundland and Labrador Seafood Industry Reception on Saturday, March 9, 2024. The event is taking place at the Hyatt Regency Boston, 1 Avenue de Lafayette, Boston, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Seafood Expo North America has been North America’s premier seafood marketing event for over 30 years and is vital to the promotion of Newfoundland and Labrador seafood to global markets.
