Rapport de synthèse et de recommandations
Le Conseil consultatif des chefs d’entreprise sur l’Asie (ABLAC) a tenu sa sixième réunion annuelle à Singapour le 20 et 21 février 2023, au moment où la cité-État mettait fin à la plupart des restrictions COVID-19. C’était la première fois en quatre ans, depuis la réunion annuelle de 2019 tenue à Hong Kong, que le Conseil se réunissait en personne. La réunion tombait à point nommé, puisqu’elle intervenait après la publication, en novembre 2022, de la Stratégie pour l’Indo-Pacifique (SIP) tant attendue du Canada. Cette stratégie constituait une priorité de politique étrangère défendue par les membres de l’ABLAC lors des réunions précédentes.

Broad Diversification: Strengthening Canada-Asia Engagement After COVID-19
The Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council held its fifth annual meeting in a virtual setting on April 7-8, 2021. More than 150 ABLAC members and invited guests convened virtually over the two-day meeting to discuss a number of timely issues related to the overarching meeting theme. The key takeaway echoed throughout the ABLAC 2021 meeting is that engagement with Asia is as important as ever and will be crucial for Canada’s own post-COVID economic recovery.
