An important part of my responsibilities as governor general is to travel on official, State and working visits abroad. This sustained exercise in diplomacy on the world stage gives me the opportunity to see the degree to which Canada is renowned worldwide as a model of social cohesion. Other peoples around the world are fascinated by and interested in the harmonious way in which we co exist, with relative ease, in diversity. It is true that our country, because of its history, is a land of encounters and mingling of cultures. Canada contains the world and loves to celebrate this fact.
