Sanjeev Chowdhury Director General Summits Management Office Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) Canada Mr. Chowdhury is from Halifax, Nova Scotia. He went to Saint Mary’s University where he was student union president and graduated in 1989 (B. Comm, Magna Cum Laude). In 1991, Mr. Chowdhury graduated from the American Graduate School of International Management (MBA, With Distinction) where he was named top graduate. His studies in America were funded by a Rotary International Foundation Scholarship. In 1995, Mr. Chowdhury joined the Canadian Foreign Service. He served abroad in Mumbai, India as Vice-Consul and Assistant Trade Commissioner (1997-2000) and in Ottawa held a number of positions including Press Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director of Operations to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. In 2003, Mr. Chowdhury was named Consul General of Canada to Ho Chi Minh City for a three year term. During his time in Vietnam, Mr. Chowdhury was sent on a temporary assignment for three months as Canada’s Acting High Commissioner to Sri Lanka (with concurrent accreditation to the Maldives) from November 2005 to February 2006 and also returned to Mumbai as Acting Consul General for a month in January, 2005 to oversee the visit of the Canadian Prime Minister to that city. In recognition of his work while Consul General, Mr. Chowdhury became the first foreign diplomat in Vietnam to be awarded three prestigious medals in one year by Vietnamese authorities (UNESCO Medal–Oct 2005, Ho Chi Minh City Insignia Medal-Apr 2006, and the Peace and Friendship Medal Between Nations-June 2006). He also raised thousands of dollars for charity (Agent Orange affected children) and, in recognition of his fund-raising capability, a new physiotherapy wing in Ho Chi Minh City for children suffering from deformities as a result of Agent Orange was named the “Sanjeev Chowdhury Physiotherapy Centre” by Vietnamese officials prior to his departure from that country in July, 2006. Mr. Chowdhury’s efforts did not go unrecognised back home, either. In June, 2006, Mr. Chowdhury was chosen to receive Canada’s “2006 Foreign Service Officer Award” by the Canadian Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO). The Awards were instituted in 1990 by PAFSO as a means of providing peer recognition of exceptional achievement by career Foreign Service Officers. Mr. Chowdhury received the award at a gala dinner at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on June 15, 2006 as a result of his outstanding efforts in representing and promoting Canada in Vietnam as Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City. Mr. Chowdhury was also appointed to the National Honourary Board of Directors of Theatre Halifax and was named an “Outstanding Nova Scotian” by the same group in 2005. In August, 2006, upon completion of his term as Canada’s Consul General in Vietnam, Mr. Chowdhury was appointed Deputy Chief of Protocol and Director, Diplomatic Corps Services at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, a post he held for 7 months before being transferred to the DFAIT Afghanistan Task Force where he served as Director of Bilateral Relations and Inter-Departmental Co- ordination for another 7 months. On October 19, 2007, the Prime Minister appointed 5 eminent Canadians (Hon. John Manley, Hon. Pamela Wallin, Hon. Jake Epp, Hon. Paul Tellier, and Mr. Derek Burney) to serve on the “Independent Panel on Canada’s Future Role in Afghanistan” and report to him by January, 2008. Mr. Chowdhury was appointed Director of Operations to this Panel. In January, 2008 when the report was delivered to the Prime Minister, Mr. Chowdhury was appointed Director, Operations, to the newly formed Privy Council Office Afghanistan Task Force, an entity arising from the recommendations of the Manley Panel. In May, 2009, after completing his assignment with the Afghanistan Task Force at the Privy Council Office, Mr. Chowdhury returned to DFAIT as Director General, Summits Management Office. In his new role, Mr. Chowdhury will be responsible for organising the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits in Ontario in June, 2010 along with the North American Leaders’ Summit (Canada, US, and Mexico) later in 2010 (location TBC). Canada has hosted four previous G7/G8 Summits in Montebello, Quebec (G7, 1981), Toronto, Ontario (G7, 1988), Halifax, Nova Scotia (G8, 1995) and Kananaskis, Alberta (G8, 2002).

  • 2020 G7 USA Virtual Summit Interim Compliance Report: WHO Support
    The G7 Research Group presents the 2020 G7 USA Virtual Summit Interim Compliance Report 17 March 2020 to 25 February 2021 Prepared by Meagan Byrd and the G7 Research Group 16 May 2021 www.g7.utoronto.ca [email protected] @g7_rg “We have meanwhile set up a process and there are also independent institutions monitoring which objectives of our G7 meetings we actually achieve. When it comes to these goals we have a compliance rate of about 80%, according to the University of Toronto. Germany, with its 87%, comes off pretty well. That means that next year too, under the Japanese G7 presidency, we are going to check where we stand in comparison to what we have discussed with each other now. So a lot of what we have resolved to do here together is something that we are going to have to work very hard at over the next few months. But I think that it has become apparent that we, as the G7, want to assume responsibility far beyond the prosperity in our own countries. That’s why today’s outreach meetings, that is the meetings with our guests, were also of great importance.” Chancellor Angela Merkel, Schloss Elmau, 8 June 2015 G7 summits are a moment for people to judge whether aspirational intent is met by concrete commitments. The G7 Research Group provides a report card on the implementation of G7 and G20 commitments. It is a good moment for the public to interact with leaders and say, you took a leadership position on these issues — a year later, or three years later, what have you accomplished?

  • Policing and Repression of Anti-Globalization Protests and Movements: a Bibliography of English-Language Material
    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Issue 3/1 advance Volume 2 (2): 288 - 367 (November 2010) Mac Sheoin, Policing and repression Policing and repression of anti-globalization protests and movements: a bibliography of English-language material Tomás Mac Sheoin Note The following bibliography assembles a variety of material –from the news media, the movement, academia and the security forces- on the policing and repression of the anti-globalization movement (AGM). The following should be noted: Material included. There is a massive literature on the AGM, much of which deals with these issues en passant. Only sources with these issues at their core are cited. Material not included. Given the subject of the bibliography it should come as no surprise that certain parts of the literature are underrepresented due to the lack of enthusiasm, for example, of certain sectors of the security forces in making documentation publicly available. Readers are invited to visit the websites of two international programmes – the UN’s International Permanent Observatory on Security During Major Events (http://lab.unicri.it/ipo.html) and the EU’s EU-SEC, Coordinating National Programmes on Security during Major Events in Europe (www.eu-sec.org) – and note that, while most programmes these organisations fund bristle with freely-available reports, reports are strangely unavailable from these sites. Material on the media demonisation of the AGM – basic to security force and state management of the movement – has not been included and hopefully will be the subject of a further bibliography. Material on the Internet. Wherever possible, a free downloadable Internet address is given for material.

  • Meeting Between the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Mr
    Meeting between the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Mr. Matteo Renzi, and the Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Shinzo Abe Joint Press Release The President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Mr. Matteo Renzi, and the Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Shinzo Abe, met today in Rome. The two leaders welcomed the excellent state of relations between Italy and Japan - based on profound and longstanding friendship, strong cultural ties and growing trade and economic cooperation - and committed to work together for further deepening the bilateral collaboration in all sectors, also in view of the celebration, in 2016, of the 150th anniversary of the conclusion of the “Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Italy and Japan”. The two leaders exchanged views on the economic policies pursued in the respective countries, noting the common objective of re-launching growth and employment, also through structural reforms, while ensuring fiscal consolidation. The two leaders noted the positive trend of bilateral trade and underlined the importance to favor a further increase in the exchange of goods and services - relying also on the cooperation between the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Italian Trade Promotion Agency (ICE) - and to promote greater access to their respective markets, consistent with the context of trade relations between Japan and the European Union. Noting that free and open trade is key to fostering economic growth and promoting job creation, they reaffirmed the importance of the early conclusion of a highly comprehensive and ambitious Free Trade Agreement (FTA)/Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between Japan and the EU, addressing issues related to market access for goods, services and investment, and procurement, including railways, intellectual property rights, geographical indications and non-tariff measures.

Introduction The outcome of the G7-summits in Canada June 2018 and in Taormina in 2017 were clear hints that multilateral cooperation in the G-format is strongly contested. The question arises how and with whose support the Canadian government intends to pursue and imple- ment its “progressive agenda”1 during its G7-presidency. Justin Trudeau’s government pro- posed five major topics for its presidency: Investing in growth that works for everyone, pre- paring for jobs for the future, advancing gender equality and women empowerment, working together on climate change, oceans and clean energy, and building a more peaceful and secure world.2 Three of these themes, namely the focus on peace and security, economic cooperation for growth, and climate change are directly linked to currently politically con- tested foreign and security issues.
