Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholars

APF Canada’s Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholars program supports eminent thought leaders from Asia to travel to Canada to share their insights and expertise on the Indo-Pacific region’s security, technological, and economic challenges and opportunities.

Through this program, supported by the Government of Canada, Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholars participate in a tailored itinerary across Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to support mutual learning and facilitate deeper dialogue with Canadian policymakers, business leaders, academics, and media representatives. 

Scholars participate in a mix of public and private events, fostering the direct exchange of ideas on the forces shaping the Indo-Pacific and their implications for Canada’s engagement in the region. This program aims to build enduring relationships, enhance policy-relevant knowledge, and strengthen Canada’s ties with leading voices across the Indo-Pacific.
