November 30, 2022 | Canada finally released its long-awaited Indo-Pacific Strategy on Sunday. This new policy framework is vital for a variety of actors, both inside and outside the government.

After some false starts, Canada thankfully has a strategy for the Indo-Pacific. But in many respects, that was the easy part says Professor Vincent Rigby and Professor Jennifer Welsh. Where the next step, implementation, will be complex and detailed.ÌýMoreover,though we now have a strategic framework for one global region, the same cannot be said for other parts of the world. Professors Vincent Rigby and Jennifer Welsh question how the Indo-Pacific strategy will be balanced against foreign policy priorities in Europe, Africa and Latin America. They state that Canada still lacks a comprehensive foreign-policy statement, a notable shortcoming for a G7 country facing a challenging world.
