Thank you for the question.
It is true that both Canada and Vietnam are members of la Francophonie. This is a huge opportunity to build people-to-people links in order to take advantage of educational and cultural co-operation.
As for gender equality, we could take advantage, when we negotiate the trade agreement, and include a trade and gender chapter. This is to mainstream gender by including gender-related provisions throughout a free trade agreement. This is only one way, among many ways in Canada, we have used to seek to promote access for women to trade and also to advance gender equality and other gender-related activities in future agreements.
Canada has also had many international development assistance projects to promote women-led businesses in Vietnam. I could see that, from the points of view of language and of gender equality, Canada and Vietnam have a long history of co-operation. These would be great opportunities for both countries.
