Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today.
I have taken note of all of your opening comments about the fact that Japan has been prioritized in the Indo-Pacific strategy, about the need for more interconnectivity between the different pillars in the Indo-Pacific strategy and about the need not to engage in quiet accommodation but to robustly indicate what we stand for as a country.
I want to focus on the importance of peace and security in the region as a foundation for trade and investment. The Government of Canada has talked a lot about the need to diversify trade and investment in the region. It would be interesting to hear your perspectives on how important it is to maintain peace and stability in the region and to ensure that the PRC does not take unilateral action, in whatever form it takes, against Taiwan.
Go ahead, Ms. Nadjibulla.
