Foreign cultural policy is considered to be the third pillar of German foreign policy, along with the classical diplomacy and promotion of the export industry. The realization of polito-cultural goals has been lately entrusted to a great extent to the so-called “mediator organizations”. Cultural programming, for example, is now conceived by the Goethe-Institut in Montréal. The cultural section of the Consulate General coordiantes common projects of various institutions in charge of the cultural exchange between Canada and Germany.
