For example, the apology by the Japanese governments to Canadian POWs held during the Asia-Pacific war was one of those steps, and likely the Canadian decision announced during Prime Minister Harper's visit to Tokyo to open a satellite office in Osaka after the general consulate had been closed there, were relatively small but important steps in further developing a very important relationship.
Par exemple, les administrations japonaises ont offert leurs excuses aux Canadiens qui ont été faits prisonniers durant la guerre du Pacifique. On peut probablement penser aussi au fait qu'à l'occasion de sa visite à Tokyo, le premier ministre Harper a annoncé l'ouverture d'un bureau satellite à Osaka après la fermeture du consulat général là-bas.
