Vina Nadjibulla - Indo-Pacific region: Our economic saviour?

Ep 541 - Indo-Pacific region: Our economic saviour? Guest: Vina Nadjibulla   By Stuart McNish   “In the face of threatened tariffs, shifting security dynamics, and changing domestic priorities, Canadian policymakers and businesses alike need to assess how best to safeguard their interests and manage relations with key Indo-Pacific economies,” says Vina Nadjibulla of the Asia Pacific Foundation.   Nadjibulla continues, “The return of Donald Trump to the White House has brought heightened uncertainty to the Indo-Pacific region, posing new challenges for Canada’s evolving Indo-Pacific Strategy and its key relationships in Asia.”   Asia-Pacific Senior Fellow Patrick Leblond says, “While Trump’s foreign policies  may unleash turbulence, Canada’s long-term Indo-Pacific objectives remain valid. While China relations are likely to stay rocky, Canada needs to double down on Southeast Asia to maintain Canada’s relevance as a partner in the region.”   We invited Vina Nadjibulla of the Asia Pacific Foundation to join us for a Conversation That Matters about fortifying existing trading relationships and building new ones in the Indo-Pacific region.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca
