Roundtable Discussion on Bhutan-Canada Bilateral Relations

2001-05-13

South Asia Partnership Canada invites you to a roundtable discussion on Bhutan-Canada bilateral relations, featuring a presentation by His Excellency Om Pradhan and The Honourable Maurice F. Strong: 10:00 to 12:00 p.m, Tuesday, May 15, 2001, Conference Room (202), Second Floor, 1 Nicholas Street, Ottawa.

Please join us for this rare opportunity in meeting and speaking with representatives from Bhutan including the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Bhutan to the United Nations, New York, H.E. Om Pradhan, and The Honourary Consul of Bhutan, Maurice F. Strong.

As a small country in South Asia, Bhutan has kept its distance from the outside world to preserve its culture and ecology.  It is now gradually opening up and seeking contact and exchange with other countries. Canadians have had some special relationships with Bhutan over time and can build on them in the future. This session will provide some insight into a little understood country and explore how the two countries can close the distance between them.

For more information and to RSVP, please contact:
