Junior Team Canada Trade and Development Mission to Peru February 13-22, 2019 Junior Team Canada Trade and Development Mission to Peru February 13-22, 2019 Global Vision will lead a Junior Team Canada Trade and Development Mission to Peru to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Canada and Peru. The 2019 Mission will build on our successful JTC Missions to Peru in 2015 & 2016, promoting Canadian businesses and organizations in the rapidly growing Peruvian economy. This mission is very timely given the recent signing of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) of which Canada and Peru are members in May 2018. In addition, it aims to commemorate 75th Anniversary of Canada-Peru bilateral trade relations. During the mission, JTC will focus on showcasing Canadian secondary and post-secondary education opportunities for Peruvian students. We will engage Peruvian students through school visits, presentations, receptions and meetings with international recruitment agencies and Ministry of Education officials. Junior Team Canada will also identify trade opportunities for Canadian companies and organizations in several sectors including: Agriculture, Education, Finance, Clean Technology, and Mining. Our mission will also focus on development challenges such as: economic growth for poor communities, democratic participation, health, education, and food security. Our Junior Team Canada Ambassadors will work together with Peruvian youth leaders to open up the dialogue on these pressing development issues and develop innovative solutions that can be implemented in their very own communities. Upon our return to Canada, JTC will produce market sector reports that will include a summary of the Mission, market intelligence and opportunities identified for Canadian enterprises and key contacts made. We will also present our innovative solutions to the development challenges to the Government of Canada, in hopes of informing policy and investment decisions in the near future. Our Team Terry Clifford, Founder and President Born in Acton, Ontario, Terry was an educator and school principal by career. He was educated at Universities of Guelph, Toronto and Cornell. Throughout more than 25 years in education, Mr. Clifford taught elementary, secondary and university levels.

Mr. Clifford served almost 10 years in public service. He represented the Ontario riding of London— Middlesex where he was first elected in the 1984 federal election and re-elected in 1988, therefore becoming a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments. He served and chaired Caucus and Standing Committees with both national and international responsibilities. Key areas of his work were energy / environment, employment, free trade, transport and European Parliamentary relations. He has been recognized for his success in forging powerful cross partnerships and for his global initiatives in science, technology, business and education. Clifford left federal politics in 1993 as he did not campaign for a third term in the House of Commons. While there, he founded in 1991 a national organization called Global Vision that engages enterprising young Canadians through education and hands on experience to develop as leaders. The mission of Global Vision is to promote Canadian culture and industry to the world.Global Vision sends young Canadians on international trade missions and participates in the Prime Minister's initiatives at APEC, G8 and G20 Summits. Global Vision to date has supported the work of 5 Prime Ministers, trained 30,000 youth and has represented Canada's interests in 30 countries in 6 continents. In 2004, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada for his efforts with Global Vision. Amy Giroux, Director Amy began her career as a Political Attaché for the Secretary of State of Canada and Minister for Multiculturalism and Citizenship. She graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours Bachelors in Political Science.

Amy has led over 35 Junior Team Canada Missions to Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and Europe. She is the Team Educator for the Junior Team Canada missions to APEC and the CEO Summit and most recently lead a delegation to Papa New Guinea.

On the upcoming Junior Team Canada Trade Mission to Peru, She will be collaborating with the Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola Ambassadors to further strengthen Canada and Peru’s culture and trade ties through our youth leaders, as we celebrate Canada-Peru 75th anniversary of bilateral trade relations. Mariam Ragab, Team Leader Mariam is a third year Computer Science student at Dalhousie University with a minor in Social Justice and Inequality. Mariam is passionate about youth education and empowerment, and international public policy. From being an avid debater, code instructor for children, and a teaching assistant for courses at Dalhousie, Mariam likes to fill her time with different ways to give back. She is passionate about international human rights, given her background as an immigrant to Canada from Egypt. Last December, she was given an opportunity to judge top debaters at the World University Debate Championships, where she was exposed to the perspectives of top debaters and intellectuals from around the globe. Mariam is also a passionate volunteer for Global Vision, acting as the Atlantic coordinator for the organization, having co-organized two National Youth Ambassador Caucus’s, an Arctic Youth Ambassador Summit, and a roundtable in Halifax. Mariam also had the opportunity to represent Canada as part of the official Canadian youth delegation to APEC 2018, where she had the opportunity to present on challenges and opportunities in the digital age to changemakers from the Asia Pacific Region. Our Ambassadors Aaliyah Lahai Aaliyah is a second year student aiming to complete a double major in Microbiology & Immunology, Sustainability, as well as a certificate in International Rural Development at Dalhousie University. Her family is originally from Liberia and her interests lie in sustainable development on the African continent particularly in the area of urban farming and renewable energy. Liberia was nearly extirpated by a civil war, causing many civilians to flee, including her family. Growing up she never neglected her heritage but instead chose learning opportunities that would hopefully provide her with the skill set and knowledge necessary to aid in rebuilding Liberia and developing the surrounding West African region. Aaliyah is passionate about human rights and holds the topic of girls’ education in the developing world close to her heart. She has represented organizations such as Because I Am a Girl and the YWCA at national caucuses, speaking on women’s rights in the developing world and the economic and social benefits a country receives when the girl child is equally educated and respected. Aaliyah is hoping to strengthen the Canadian and Peruvian bond whilst representing Atlantic Canadian businesses. Ananya Pampana Ananya Pampana is a passionate and hardworking 15 year old in grade 11. Her passion and drive for international relations, and diplomacy has taken her to great heights.

Through her extensive experience in Model United Nations, Model G20, and the Y20 in the past 4 years, she has trained and strengthened her skills in negotiation, leadership, and making trade deals. Ananya is also very active in her local community as the Vice President of the Tri-Cities Rotary International Interact Club.

Current Issues in U.S.-ROK Relations Author: Kim Sung-han, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Republic of Korea Many issues today require unprecedented international cooperation. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), terrorism, cybersecurity threats, climate change, and economic imbalances between developed and developing nations are all issues that great powers alone cannot resolve. Overcoming these challenges requires collaboration among all countries. Although great powers are useful in mobilizing cooperation, their efforts are insufficient to coordinate all involved actors. Solving today's complex challenges will require "middle powers" to play a Publisher Council on Foreign Relations greater, more active role. Press Middle powers are medium-size states with the capability and willingness Release Date February 2013 to employ proactive diplomacy with global visions. Their policies fulfill their respective interests but also benefit the world. Middle powers promote new visions and creative ideas that are acceptable to both their domestic constituencies and other states. They are also willing to make the necessary contributions to materialize such visions. Through various initiatives, such as its programs in green growth and development cooperation, South Korea has demonstrated the influence middle powers may have on global governance. In the Group of Twenty (G20), where factionalism is becoming increasingly prevalent, middle powers such as South Korea may be best suited to facilitate consensus building and revitalize momentum for cooperation. Global Governance: The G20 and Middle Powers Collective management over many world issues has yet to be established.

The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic, business, and oceans policy issues through analysis and dialogue undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate areas. Founded in 1975, it collaborates with a broad network of research institutes from around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating project findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and members of the public throughout the region. Table of Contents Page The Cheonan’s Long Shadow: The Second US-ROK Strategic Dialogue Key Findings …………………………………………………………… 1 Conference Report …………………………………………………….. 5 Conference Agenda and Participant List …………………………….. 21 iii iv The Second US-ROK Strategic Dialogue April 29-30, 2010, Maui Key Findings/Recommendations The Pacific Forum CSIS brought together a small, select group of South Korean and US security specialists for the second time to discuss threat perceptions and concerns about the changing strategic environment in East Asia and the nature of extended deterrence. The following are the key findings from this off-the-record dialogue: – Despite growing rhetoric about a “global outlook,” South Korean threat perceptions remain focused on Northeast Asia, and North Korea in particular. ROK security analysts believe the North Korean threat has grown in recent years; they intimate that the US does not appreciate the severity of this “asymmetric” threat and, in particular, concerns about “nuclear blackmail” or increased North Korean adventurism (a la Cheonan), given Pyongyang’s perception about its nuclear deterrent.
