of the world’s population and by 2030 will be home to over 65 per cent of the
global middle class,” said APF Canada President and CEO, Stewart Beck. “Asia is
going to be increasingly important to Canada for decades to come, and in order
to seize these new opportunities and be relevant and effective in the region,
Canada needs to intensify its efforts in Asia.” With Canada’s ratification of the historic, 12-member Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement pending, and the convening in the Philippines mid-November of APEC’s Economic Leaders’ Meeting, CEO Summit and Business Advisory Council, this is a crucial time for Canada in the Asia Pacific. “An important component of Canada’s engagement with Asia is building Canada’s Asia competence, including providing Canadian youth with a deeper understanding of the countries and peoples of Asia, and giving them the right tools to succeed in the global economy,” said Beck. “APF Canada is currently spearheading a national initiative on Asia competency, and looks forward to collaborating with the new government on its youth employment strategy, which includes the investment of $40 million annually to support student co-op positions.” Added Beck: “We must all work together to encourage Canadians, particularly young Canadians, to acquire the necessary skills and tools they need to succeed in the Asian Century.” |
