The Canadian side affirmed that it attaches importance to cooperation with the ASEAN, which it considers a priority in external policy.
Canada pledged to continue support ASEAN in building the ASEAN Community, implementing the MPAC and IAI, while noting the wish to upgrade its partnership with the bloc, build an ASEAN-Canada free trade agreement, and participate in and contribute to such mechanisms as the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM Plus), East Asia Summit (EAS), Expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum (EAMF), for peace, security and prosperity in the region.
Canada also announced a plan to establish the ASEAN-Canada Cooperation Fund to carry out projects and cooperation activities in the time ahead.
On the direction for their partnership, the two sides agreed to work together on all three pillars of politics-security, economics and culture-society, with focus on fighting cross-border terrorism and crime; trade-investment; micro, small and medium enterprises; science-technology; cyber security; connectivity; smart city; climate change and natural disaster control; disease prevention; education; promotion and protection of the rights of women, children and migrant workers.
