GCTF Workshop: The Prosperity of Indigenous Peoples across the Indo-Pacific

The Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS), the Chair of Taiwan Studies at the University of Ottawa, and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada are pleased to co-host the second Global Cooperation Training Framework (GCTF) seminar in Ottawa on April 8, 2025.

Titled “The Prosperity of Indigenous Peoples across the Indo-Pacific,” this event will focus on strengthening international Indigenous collaboration and sharing best practices in economic empowerment, language revitalization, education, and Indigenous-museum relations.

Governments across the region have increasingly prioritized Indigenous cooperation through initiatives like Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy and multilateral frameworks such as the Indigenous Peoples Economic and Trade Cooperation Arrangement (IPETCA).

This seminar will serve as a pivotal platform, bringing together leading academics, policymakers, thought Indigenous leaders, featuring Elder Claudette Commanda, President Victoria Pruden of Métis National Council, Commissioner Ronald Ignace of Indigenous Languages, Canadian officials, as well as museum curators from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the United States.

Grounded in Indigenous perspectives, the discussions will explore new opportunities for Indigenous communities and their public and private sector partners across the Indo-Pacific.

Join us for engaging discussions that foster inclusive growth and shared prosperity across the region.

Limited Truku Indigenous handicraft souvenirs available, please ask at the registration desk.
