Japan and Canada must commit to an ambitious upgrade of their relationship
also singles out China as an increasingly disruptive global power that disregards international rules and norms.
Nonetheless, the Canada-Japan relationship still has considerable room to grow. Traditionally, the primary focus of each government’s diplomatic attention has been elsewhere. The United States has loomed large as Japan’s only treaty ally and Canada’s only contiguous neighbour, but the bilateral relationship has also been overshadowed by Europe and other Indo-Pacific countries, along with multilateral initiatives.
To strengthen ties, it will be necessary to pursue both immediate and long-term opportunities for co-operation. The Australia-Japan relationship offers many useful lessons – the two countries have deepened co-operation across a variety of areas, and the relationship is now often described as a semi-alliance. Australia is also a member of the Quad, a partnership among Japan, India and the United States, which shares important priorities with Canada.
The most important generational priority is the development of stronger people-to-people ties between the two countries. Unlike the U.S.-Japan relationship, which benefits from a wealth of expertise on both sides across all sectors, the bench is relatively thin for the Canada-Japan relationship. Greater investments are needed in programs to support student exchange and scholarly research, policy dialogues and conferences, and delegations to connect business leaders on both sides.
