That's a great question, and it allows me to share that there are many such examples. Our universities and the fact that so many people have come and studied in Canada.... That's a huge asset for Canadian soft power in the region. We need to do a lot more to properly utilize that and to be much more strategic about that.
So much of the discussion has been focused on foreign students. That's only one piece of it. The region is really dynamic, and we can be doing a lot more in joint research partnerships. India is an area in which this comes out, but it's also in Southeast Asia. I think there needs to be a much more concerted effort to have a public conversation with Canada about the importance of universities and of the services sector, the dynamic partnerships that now exist for us in the region, and the enormous asset that we have through this alumni network of people who have studied in Canada and who are now all over the region in positions of influence, including in business.
This could advance people-to-people ties, as well as commercial interests. We can go a long way in attracting investment and business opportunities by utilizing that network as well.
Thank you.
