A Deliberate Pacific Power: Triangulating Canada and Its Strategy

Canada’s posture towards the Pacific has long been subject to debate and calls for clarification. Canada’s national interests will determine the extent of its regional commitment and whether its pillars are centred on trade diversification, development assistance, or security cooperation. Engagement in Asia may require Ottawa to rethink its trans-Atlantic orientation, its foreign policy coordination with traditional partners, and the formula for an economic future that may rest in the Pacific.

Gathering domestic foreign policy thinkers and practitioners, this discussion studies the political and economic goalposts that anchor Ottawa’s strategy in East Asia and the Pacific, how it has or has not defined the means for achieving them, and where the demand is, if any, for Canada to step up and articulate its relevance.

This panel is part of IPD's East Asia Strategy Forum 2021. #EASF2021
