Following the success of the previous seminars, this seminar is an opportunity for both sides to discuss research topics on economic cooperation in East Asia.
Opening the conference was the presentation of Prof. Hiromi Kabashima with the theme of International Cooperation in East Asia. The study provided whole information about the cooperation context of East Asia, especially group of the countries participating in the TPP (Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement); development trends as well as TPP’s impact of positive and negative to member countries.
In the current context of the international integration, both Japan and Vietnam are very interested in this topic. Especially in this period, many countries decided to join the TPP negotiations so that it would have many new opportunities and challenges for Japan, Vietnam and other member countries. Perhaps it is the reason why the study was received a lot of attention and questions from experts as well as the students.
