For British Columbia Senator Mobina Jaffer, collaboration is the key starting point in sustaining peace and driving development in developing countries.

Collaboration, she told University of Prince Edward Island students, means building relationships.
“And there is nobody that can do that better than young people,’’ said Jaffer, who served as Canada’s Special Envoy for Peace in Sudan from 2002 to 2006.

“Building relationships is what it is about.’’
