ABLAC

The Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council (ABLAC) comprises a high-level group of Asian and Canadian business leaders convened annually by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada to identify and articulate opportunities for improved Canada-Asia business engagement.

Currently, the Council membership is representative of four Canadian provinces and eight Asia Pacific economies.

Launched in 2016, ABLAC has already established a critical forum to catalyze dialogue and action. ABLAC 2019 will take place in Hong Kong SAR, on February 26 and 27, 2019, marking the first meeting to take place in Asia since the Council's inception.
