I still remember the horror in Tiananmen Square 33 years ago - when a peaceful protest was turned into a massacre. Today hundreds of people gathered in front of the Chinese consulate in Vancouver to honour the protestors. Sadly we are now witnessing China’s severe and violent suppression of the people of Hong Kong unfold with the threat of the National Security Law in full force. More than ever, the people of Hong Kong need the international community to stand united with them. It makes me proud thar the Consulate General of Canada in Hong Kong & Macao joined with the international community and lit a candle and issued a statement in remembrance of this tragic history and to uphold human rights and democratic freedoms. Let the candle burn!

I was delighted to meet with a group 9 talented Afghan women engineering students’ who won a full scholarship to do their post grad students at UBC. Two high school students also received a full scholarship to study in Vancouver. Getting their study permit approved was no easy task as IRCC often reject applications citing their standard reasons for rejections. Special thanks to Friba Rezayee for her relentless effort and dedication to help empower young Afghan women. They are an inspiration to us all. Welcome to Canada and thank you for contributing to Canada’s multicultural, social and exconomic fabric.
