Canada is focusing strongly on the Asia-Pacific region as an emerging market for trade and investment as well as for positive political linkages.
One of the goals that we note the Pacific Alliance has is basically to become a platform for political linkages, economic and trade integration, and extension to the world, with special emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region.
Should Canada support expanded membership in the Pacific Alliance to include Asian countries? If we do, should we emphasize certain countries or certain regions among Asia-Pacific countries, or should we give priority to some specific countries?
