APF Canada welcomes the 15 members of its inaugural Indo-Pacific Young Leaders cohort for a one-week visit to Canada to connect with stakeholders in the Canada-Indo-Pacific relationship from governments, think-tanks, civil society organizations, and business. 

This year’s cohort includes government officials, researchers, and private sector actors from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Taiwan.

Canada’s G7 Presidency in 2025 comes amid pressing global challenges, marked by rising geoeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. This moment offers Canada a platform to lead — and an opportunity to strengthen ties with rising powers like India, which is playing an increasingly vital role on the global stage. Although not a G7 member, India has been invited to every summit since 2019. 

As a window opens for a potential reset in Canada–India relations, join us to explore India’s G7 engagement in recent years and the prospects for renewed bilateral and global co-operation in the context of Canada’s G7 Presidency.

Vina Najibulla, Vice-President Research & Strategy at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, will moderate this webinar. 

Speakers:

• Michael Kugelman, Senior Fellow of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada 
   
• C. Raja Mohan, Distinguished Fellow, Council for Strategic and Defense Research
