Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for both witnesses.
We heard the ambassador state very clearly that he wishes to deepen relations between Canada and Japan so they become important partners in the development of the Indo-Pacific region.
Equally, we heard that Japan also intends to work closely with India in that regard, something that Ms. Tatsumi expressed some reservations about in her earlier presentation. How can we reconcile all of that with the fact that relations between Canada and India have deteriorated considerably in recent months?
