      History

      The Trade and Investment Division of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade was created in 2006 when an export function was added to the mandate of the Investment Division. In 2008, the division's name was changed to simply Investment and Trade. In 2009, the division became part of the newly formed Ministry of International Trade and Investment, at which time its name was changed to the Investment and Trade Division.

      The various branches of the Trade and Investment Division included (with minor name changes over time): International Representation and Research Branch; International Trade Branch; Investment Branch; and Marketing Branch.

      In 2010, this division was split into the International Trade and Marketing Division and the Investment Division of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
