People-to-people exchange is a very important pillar of the Indo-Pacific strategy. We do understand that in Canada the higher education institutions are very much respected when it comes to high tech, like artificial intelligence and quantum. More and more Japanese students are paying attention to these higher opportunities, especially postgraduate students.
The Japanese institutions promote those academic exchanges and are working hard to enhance and increase the further exchange between the academia of our two countries, especially with robotics, artificial engineering, artificial intelligence and quantum—the high-tech areas.
