"We are incredibly excited to welcome so many representatives from around the world to experience our amazing province and its people," Premier Scott Moe said. "Saskatchewan has the food, fuel, and fertilizer that the world needs, and it is through missions like this that we’ll continue to strengthen our place on the world stage and be a national leader in economic growth."

While in Regina, the Mission will visit Saskatchewan's Legislative Building, the Cultivator (Powered by Conexus) tech-incubator facility, along with Kambeitz Farms, and Purely Canada Foods terminals, before making a stop at Government House to meet with the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.
