The enclosed documentary record of the Roadshow provides a summary of your time in Canada, and highlights the major events during your visit and the interaction you had with Canadians who are becoming increasingly interested in doing business in your region. I look forward to continuing to strengthen economic ties with your country and to advancing our mutual interests throughout the dynamic and fast-growing Asia-Pacific region.
