On the occasion of the first Global Confucius Institute Day, which is celebrated in more than 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.
Other celebratory activities include an afternoon of cultural workshops for families of all ages and in the evening an out of this world performance by the Zhejiang Normal University Art Troupe and the China Gymnastic Skill Team, composed of Olympic level athletes.
