Description

We hosted a unique opportunity to meet Professor Taniguchi and his panelists. WE engaged with the Special Advisor to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Cabinet in a dialogue on regional and global Japan-related issues, as well as issues on Japanese society.  The goal of "Walk in Canada, Talk on Japan" was to increase awareness about Japan in Canada on a variety of issues and to further develop the Japan-Canada relationship through people-to-people diplomacy.
