CanChams of the Indo Pacific Sign Landmark MOU in Presence of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

CanCham Hong Kong is proud to have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who recognized the vital role of the Canadian Chambers of the Indo Pacific (CCIP) in advancing commerce across the region. The Prime Minister acknowledged how CCIP strengthens Canada's economic voice and fosters global partnerships—at a pivotal moment as Canada pursues trade diversification and deeper strategic ties with Asia.

As the largest Canadian Chamber of Commerce in the Indo-Pacific, with over 3,100 members, CanCham Hong Kong is proud to support the formation of this Canadian network and extends its sincere thanks to Prime Minister Carney for his support and confidence.

Our Executive Director, Patrick Levesque, who was present at the signing, emphasized that the Indo-Pacific represents a collective force—unlocking vast opportunities for transpacific trade and commerce. The ties between Canada and Hong Kong remain exceptionally strong, with more than 300,000 Canadians calling Hong Kong home. As a leading global financial centre, Hong Kong plays a critical role in driving economic growth across the region—facilitating two-way trade and investment that benefit both Canada and Asia. Hong Kong is the "super connector" for the region and a safe, stable place to grow business.

Moving forward, CanCham Hong Kong will continue to champion Canadian interests and excellence across the Indo-Pacific, strengthening economic linkages and creating new business opportunities in the global marketplace. We look forward to working with the Canadian Government, our members and partners, to turn this MOU signing into tangible results.

Many thanks to Brett Stephenson and Dr. Adam Janikowski for organizing this opportunity and for their leadership in building this network.
