Telecommunications Policy Consultations
Dec 2007
Canada and Japan are global leaders at the forefront of innovation in the field of ICT. The two governments place great importance on this sector and recognize the potential to enhance our respective objectives through collaboration, not only at the multilateral level (e.g. International Telecommunications Union), but also bilaterally. In addition, Canada and Japan are actively endeavouring to strengthen cooperation among research centres, universities and the private sector
.
The key bilateral forum for cooperation in this area is the Canada-Japan Telecommunications Policy Consultations, which were established in 1984. These consultations provide an opportunity to share perspectives on key policy developments, to exchange a wide range of opinions on appropriate regulatory decisions and cooperation concerning ICT in Canada and Japan, as well as to identify and advance mutual collaboration in research and development.
