Recently, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney embarked on his first trip to Asia since taking office. Victor Ramraj, chair of Asia-Pacific Legal Relations at the University of Victoria, stated in a program that the prime minister should send a clear message on this visit: Asia has become the hub of global trade, and Canada's long-term prosperity is closely linked to the region. For Canada's economy, Asia is by no means an alternative option, but rather the "Plan A" that must be prioritized.
