Responsibilities

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada undertakes strategic research on Canada's economic, political and social relations with Asia Pacific. The goal is to provide guidance on Asia Pacific topics for business and governments, and to enhance the links among the policy, business and research communities in areas relating to Canada's ties with Asia Pacific.

The core of these think-tank activities is the Foundation's research and analysis group. The group undertakes research on its own initiative, and on behalf of clients. It is also the hub of a national network – the Canada Asia Pacific Research Network – built around about 400 academic experts and other regional specialists from across Canada who are involved in Asia Pacific research.

The Foundation is the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Study Centre in Canada, promoting collaborative research and disseminating information and analysis on the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation and on priority issues for Canada's involvement in the regional forum. The Foundation also acts as the secretariat for two multilateral Asia Pacific organizations of which Canada is a member – the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Advisory Council.
