Our policy choices as a country must reflect both the influence of the global environment and the potential international impact of Canadian actions. To achieve our full potential within the international community, we must maintain our leadership in extending the benefits of trade and investment liberalization to developing countries and our proud tradition of internationalism in contributing to global peace and security and to the spread of democratic institutions and values.

The Council has been a strong supporter of the Doha Development Agenda of the World Trade Organization, and of regional initiatives such as APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation).

In addition, the Council has played key roles in the launch of bilateral initiatives with significant trading partners. In Asia, the Council has led CEO missions to China and to India. It produced a joint study with Nippon Keidanren in 2006 recommending broader and deeper economic cooperation with Japan. In 2008, it co-authored a study with the Confederation of Indian Industry calling for launch of negotiations on a comprehensive bilateral free trade agreement. And it worked successfully with its business counterparts in Europe to set the stage for a broad partnership agreement between Canada and the European Union, with formal negotiations expected to be launched in the Spring of 2009.
