Meeting with Canadian Ambassador to Singapore

1 George Street, Canadian High Commission in Singapore      

Meeting with our Canadian Ambassador to Singapore for an hour this past week was certainly a highlight and privilege. Mr. Sevigny provided me some great insights to his experience here and shared how prominent Canada's role is in terms of our current 400 strong business presence in Singapore.

He shared his presentation that he usually gives to community service clubs, like Rotary, so that I can too share up to date highlights and strategic areas of growth for partnerships from the Canadian government stance.

I will be following up with the Ambassador in upcoming weeks as he agreed to assist me in finding appropriate research information and linking me to appropriate trade commissioners as well!
