Over the past few decades Canada has maintained consistently longstanding cordial relations with many South Asian nations.  As of 2011, South Asian Canadians constitute almost 5 percent of the Canadian population, being the largest visible minority in Canada. In the changing strategic atmosphere, Canada is playing a constructive role in the economic development of the South Asian countries and has emerged a key promoter of economic cooperation in the region.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ambassador Beka Dvali of Georgia in South Africa hosted a photographic exhibition capturing the plight of internally displaced people. This Exhibition focused on one of the most challenging humanitarian problems of the modern world — displacement. In 2014, the total number of people internally displaced by armed conflict and violence worldwide was estimated to be 38 million people - the highest figure ever recorded by Geneva based Internal Displacement Monitoring Center. As the topic of forcible displacement tops the international agenda, these photographs tell a story of approximately half a million of IDPs and refugees from Abkhazia, Georgia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia, victims of the several waves of ethnic cleansing. The plight of the IDPs in Georgia dates back to the early 1990s, when hundreds of thousands of Georgian citizens of various ethnicities had to leave their homes as a painful consequence of the conflict.
