The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, today issued the following statement:

"This year, we celebrate 20 years of taking the time to highlight the history, achievements, and contributions, past and present, of people of Asian descent in Canada while continuing our fight against anti-Asian racism.
