Conversation with Graeme C. Clark, Ambassador of Canada in Mexico

Interviews by Ross Laver (Business Council of Canada) The panel was focused on how to strengthen the relationship between the countries who are neighbors but somehow, feel so distant. Canada and Mexico have a great trade relationship but there are sectors where we could use some work. The geopolitical situation is one that can bring a lot of benefits for the region, and we need to take advantage of that. The mobility and labor issues keep being two of the most important topics, and that needs to be addressed with a regional conversation about migration; including North America, and the countries in Central America that are affected by this situation. It’s essential to have a conversation with all the players in the table. The migration linked to education needs to be more present, we need to have more agreements between these two countries to encourage more people going to Canada, and more coming to Mexico.
