We are delighted to invite you to a networking cocktail to celebrate the Sakura season in Japan and have a special guest, Mr. Ian Burney, Canada’s former Ambassador to Japan (2016-21) to highlight the importance of the Canada-Japan relationship against the backdrop of an increasingly turbulent global environment, and speak candidly about the need for greater engagement, not only from governments but other key stakeholders including our respective business communities.

Ambassador Burney will lay out key areas of opportunity for the bilateral relationship going forward, with particular attention to the economic and trade dimension.

The perspectives he shares will be drawn both from his extensive career as a Canadian diplomat and lead government trade negotiator, and his current roles in the private sector. A social mixer will be followed by the speech for you to meet with business leaders from Canada-Japan business community in Toronto.
