In preparation for the diplomatic mission, the newly appointed Ambassador of BiH to Canada and non-resident for Cuba Srđan Lalić visited the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) in order to have information about current economic and investment cooperation between the two countries.

The FIPA Director Gordan Milinić informed the Ambassador Lalić about the Agency's work on attracting foreign investments and promoting BiH as a location for investments, as well as opportunities for investing in BiH.

It was pointed out that the current level of investments from Canada is not at a satisfactory level, including trade exchange, and that economic diplomacy should give its contribution in order to improve the situation in these areas.

The Ambassador is expected to establish cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of Canada, business professional associations and other relevant institutions in order to try to animate the Canadian economic community to invest in BiH.

It is also expected to establish contacts with BiH diaspora in Canada to work together on an economic plan.
