In support of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada’s mandate to inform and to educate Canadian policy-makers and the Canadian public on developments within the Asia Pacific, APF Canada has launched its new ‘Election Focus 2019’ video series in the run-up to the fall election.
The 'Focus' series includes six videos featuring expert commentary on 'hot-button' areas and topics including Hong Kong, South Korea-Japan relations, Taiwan, Regional Trade, Canada-U.S.-China relations, and ASEAN. These videos not only detail the specifics and latest developments in each issue area, but also highlight their relevance for Canada.
