APF Canada convenes Expert Roundtables featuring government and private sector leaders, senior diplomats and military command personnel, and experts from think-tanks and academia. Themes explored in these public briefings span the full spectrum of Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy, including Arctic and maritime security, Canada-ASEAN economic integration, bilateral relations with India and China, AI governance and cyber‑resilience, and the emerging linkages between Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security theatres. These Roundtables are intended to facilitate meaningful discussions and not only deepen mutual understanding but also pave the way for innovative solutions that can inform government and private sector action.
