The
governor general of Canada David Johnston will visit Vietnam from November
16-19.
“I am looking forward to travelling to Asia on
my first state visit as governor general of Canada. The state visit will allow
us to witness first-hand Canada’s involvement in South East Asia, provide us
with the opportunity to engage in dialogue with our counterparts and emphasise
the common knowledge and interests we share in the fields of trade, investment,
innovation and education,” Johnston said.
During the visit to Vietnam, he will highlight
the important education linkages between Canada and Vietnam, and promote trade
and investment between the two countries.
He will recognise important innovations
Canadian development assistance has supported in the areas of skills training
and agriculture in Hanoi and the Mekong Delta.
The visit will also offer an opportunity to
share views on Canadian values during discussions and meetings with Vietnamese
counterparts in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
He will
join a panel discussion on multiculturalism at the University of Social
Sciences and Humanities (Hanoi), deliver a keynote address on the Diplomacy of
Knowledge: Education and Globalisation in the 21st Century at the Ho Chi Minh
City University of Industry (Ho Chi Minh City) and attend a panel discussion on
skills training at Mylan Group (southern Tra Vinh province).
He will also meet with representatives from
the business community and civil society and visit projects supported by the
Canadian International Development Agency
in Hanoi and southern Soc Trang province.
