Hi @CanEmbJapan 🇯🇵

Canada and Japan have more than breathtaking landscapes in common. They also share strong cultural, economic and diplomatic relations dating back to 1928.

Here’s to this lasting friendship! 🎉

[Canadian Army @CanadianArmy]

Senior delegations from the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force and the Canadian Army met recently in Vancouver for the inaugural iteration of Japan-Canada Army Staff Talks. These historic talks laid a foundation for expanded friendship and collaboration between our forces.

@TeamCanada I was in Guangzhou. China with a number of Canadian colleagues watching in the early morning from my living room.

[David Bostwick @Tokyo_DB]

@CanadianArmy Winter camping is absolutely awesome. Just limit your liquid intake late in the day. Once you get into that comfy sleeping bag you won’t want to get out until morning.
