The Changing Footprint of Canada-Japan Trade and Commerce – Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (CCCJ)

The CPTPP is an example of that changing relationship with Canada and Japan joining 9 other countries to sign a free trade deal that focuses on intellectual property rights, high environmental and labor standards, and limits for the role of SoEs in economies. This presentation will highlight the changing nature of the trade and commerce relation between Canada and Japan by focusing on the trends the CCCJ is seeing with Canadian businesses in Japan, how trade agreements like the CPTPP are opening up opportunities for Canadian businesses in Japan and the Indo-Pacific. 

Speakers:

Paul Pryce, Managing Director, Saskatchewan’s Japan Trade and Investment Office

Mark Raymond, Director, Trade section, Délégation générale du Québec à Tokyo (Quebec General Delegation in Tokyo)
