Toronto

A Global City for Global Leaders

The Intersection of Global Business and Foreign Policy

As a hub of international business and finance, as well as one of the world's most culturally diverse cities located in a  country with a long and active history in the international community, Toronto is uniquely positioned to offer members various professional and cultural benefits. At YPFP Toronto, our team aims to offer members a bridge between the business community or private sector and foreign policy with a particular awareness of cultural diplomacy and diaspora politics, especially in the areas of trade, defence and development that are so important to cultivating Toronto's status as a global and interconnected city.
