On June 23, APF Canada co-organized the Canada-ASEAN Strategic Dialogue in Jakarta, Indonesia, with @CSISIndonesia.

The dialogue was co-hosted by @CanadaASEAN and @INAASEANJkt
to explore how partners like #Canada can work together with #ASEAN to strengthen international co-operation, diversify partnerships, and build resilient energy systems capable of withstanding external shocks and safeguarding energy security.

Did you know #Toronto is home to some of North America's largest Chinatown communities?

Chinatown West, Chinatown East, and Old Chinatown are three unique areas in Toronto defined by a collection of cultures, traditions and languages from the Chinese diaspora. According to Canada's 2021 census, 1.7 million people in Canada identified as Chinese, and nearly 40% of them lived in the Toronto metropolitan area.

APF Canada's @VinaNadjibulla also explores this unfolding story and the impact on Canada's defence partnerships with Indo-Pacific allies like #SouthKorea in an op-ed for @policy_mag.

"Hanwha’s campaign helped move South Korea in Canadian eyes from an important economic partner to a serious strategic and defence-industrial partner."

Ottawa's selection of Germany's TKMS is a strategic move towards deeper integration with European and #NATO allies.

"Ottawa judged alliance alignment and lifecycle risk reduction as outweighing Hanwha’s wider industrial pitch and as an opportunity for long-term strategic involvement in the Asia Pacific theatre."

The Australia–Canada–India Technology and Innovation Partnership (#ACITI) set out an ambitious vision for trilateral co-operation on critical and emerging technologies at the #G20 last November.

The challenge now? Moving from announcement to implementation.

Could Canada use Chinese #EV firms to reboot its auto manufacturing? 🚗

APF Canada's @VinaNadjibulla says that the issue is not rebooting Canada's manufacturing industry, but "whether Chinese participation in Canadian production would strengthen Canada’s ability to design and produce the technologies at the heart of the next automotive economy.”
