On the occasion of the first Global Confucius Institute Day, which is celebrated in 100 countries and by nearly 500 Confucius Institutes, AMCC-International Business Development and the Confucius Institute in Edmonton are pleased to sponsor an important discussion by an influential business panel on Alberta’s economic potential with Asia. In only a few years Canada’s trade with China has jumped from $7 billion to $55 billion per year. China’s Ambassador to Canada hopes this number will soon double. Albertans can take advantage of this inevitable growth, and opportunities for successful economic diversification and business creation.
