Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
With the aim of strengthening your ties, diplomatic commitments and interpersonal relationships, the academic community is an excellent vehicle for exchanges between countries, as is the scientific community.
In my former life, at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, several of my colleagues maintained relations with African universities. To my knowledge, these were never structured by the government. They were initiatives that came more from the professors themselves in their specific fields of research.
Are there elements in your strategy that can support these initiatives, which would benefit everyone involved in academic exchanges?
