In this episode of Quebec Conversations, APF Canada’s Alexandre Veilleux interviews Catherine Tadros, Quebec’s Delegate in Singapore, who brings over 20 years of experience in Quebec’s public service.
In this podcast, Ms. Tadros discusses the growing importance of Quebec’s relations with Southeast Asia, a diverse and strategically significant region. She highlights how Quebec’s Indo-Pacific Strategy has strengthened political engagement, cultural connections, and economic opportunities across ASEAN member states, while recent trade agreements involving Canada — including those with Indonesia and within the CPTPP — help create new avenues for Quebec businesses. The conversation also examines the role of francophonie in regional diplomacy, emerging sectors for Quebec companies, and the potential for green technologies and climate leadership to deepen co-operation between Quebec and Southeast Asia.
