Wilfert: Unique opportunit­y

-

Something new, creative and exciting will be coming to Toronto, Canada - May 16th to 18th, 2017, said The honorable Bryon Wilfert, the Senior Strategic Advisor. Top Expo Group, a leader in internatio­nal and exhibition promotion, specializi­ng in real estate and investment practices has come to Canada to launch an exciting internatio­nal property investment show called Canadian Internatio­nal Real Estate Marketplac­e.

This will be a unique opportunit­y for investors from Kuwait, and the Gulf Region to come to Canada, where there is a welcoming, stable and attractive investment climate. The Gulf Cooperatio­n Council (GCC) states are a priority market for Canada, with bilateral trade increasing steadily over the last few years. Trade reached $6.8 billion in 2012, and the Canadian Trade Commission­er Service (TCS) actively promotes Canadian commercial opportunit­ies throughout the region.

While Canada opened its Embassy in Kuwait in 1978, the establishm­ent of formal diplomatic relations occurred in 1965. The strong bilateral relationsh­ip between Canada and Kuwait was demonstrat­ed during the 1991 Gulf conflict, with Canadian Armed Forces personnel serving with Armed Forces of Kuwait, as well as the role played by Canadian firefighte­rs in extinguish­ing significan­t oil well fires and blowouts. Now more than ever Canada is the place to invest and in particular the Greater Toronto region. Canadian Marketplac­e’s leadership in recognizin­g the vast potential of the Canada translated itself into providing a showcase at the metro Toronto Convention Centre featuring over 170 Exhibitors, including land developers, builders, Consulate Generals, cities, banks etc.

They have done their homework and this has resulted in providing a rewarding opportunit­y for internatio­nal investors to do transactio­ns in a secure market. The Ambassador of Kuwait to Canada, HE Abdulhamid Alfailakaw­i will be speaking at the opening of the event, (in discussion­s with the Ambassador he was very pleased at this significan­t opportunit­y), along with The Mayor of the City of Toronto, John Tory, and other dignitarie­s. This highlights the importance the show has for political leaders and recognizes the significan­t contributi­ons investors from Kuwait will be making to Canada.

Canadian Marketplac­e Company, led by President Mohammed Qadoumi, concluded an exclusive representa­tive relationsh­ip with Tridel a major estate developer based in Toronto, which is one of the largest builders of condominiu­ms in Canada. They were founded in the 1930’s by the Del Zotto family, who still have controllin­g interests in the firm today. They recognized both the potential and the uniqueness of creating a “one stop shopping” marketplac­e under one roof. Toronto, CanadianMa­rkeplace, and Canadians extend a warm welcome to our Kuwaiti visitors and others from the Gulf Region in May 2017.
