Événements Asie

The collapse of trust in global trade — driven by the resurgence of protectionism and the weakening of rules-based institutions — has reshaped the global economic landscape. As Mary Ng writes, when trust erodes, trade is no longer a reliable engine of prosperity but a tool of power and unpredictability. Countries like Canada, long champions of open markets and stable rules, have responded by deepening diversification and forging strong alliances, especially in the Indo-Pacific.

 Join us for a public lecture, co-organized with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, featuring guest speaker The Honourable Mary Ng, Former Canadian Minister of International Trade and Member of Parliament for Markham-Thornhill, and chaired by Dr Denis Hew, Senior Research Fellow, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. 

This event will explore the how Asian businesses can leverage Canada’s stable economic trading framework to co-invest in energy transition technologies, green and digital infrastructure, and supply chain stability.
