YAOUNDE, March 27 (Reuters) - Canada's minister of international trade said on Friday that he hopes to conclude a free-trade agreement with South America's Mercosur bloc by the autumn.
"We're stepping up the negotiation timelines a little bit. Hopefully we can have negotiations every six weeks or so, and hopefully we can get it done by the fall. That is the goal we've set between our partners," Maninder Sidhu told Reuters on the sidelines of a World Trade Organization ministerial conference in Cameroon.
