Former Canadian Ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia and Laos
Philip Calvert was Canada's ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia and Laos from 2012 to 2016. He is an Associate at the University of Victoria's Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives, and a Senior Fellow at the China Institute at the University of Alberta and at UBC’s Institute of Asian Research.
