Dear Members of the College of International Studies and Graduate School of International Studies,

 

I am Valerie Liang, Programme Manager from the Global Institute for Tomorrow, an independent pan-Asian Think Tank based in Hong Kong.

 

We are pleased to share that GIFT will be hosting the second of three virtual conferences, Finding Common Values: Plurality in the Emerging New World Order on 13th October 2022. This conference is part of the series Join the Conversation: China in the 21st Century and will be held by GIFT with the support of the Commissioner’s Office of China’s Foreign Ministry in the Hong Kong S.A.R.

 

With rising geopolitical tensions as the backdrop, this second conference aims to spark an important and timely conversation about the often-used term ‘common values’ in discussing foreign policy matters. The conference will bring together experts and opinion shapers to discuss the geopolitical challenges posed by rising tensions and the importance of leveraging common values by which to foster political, economic and cross-cultural collaboration for mutual benefit. The objective is to arrive at a common understanding given regional differences with a view to helping ease geopolitical tensions and create a greater capacity for friendly dialogue and collaboration. Please refer to the conference website and our pamphlet for more information.

 

We would like to cordially invite you and members of Korea University’s College of International Studies and Graduate School of International Studies to join our half-day virtual conference for an afternoon of intellectually robust and balanced discussions. There will be two panels comprising of esteemed experts, scholars and leaders, each followed by Q&A sessions open to the audience:

 

·  Panel 1: Common Values in the New World Order: Geopolitics, Multilateralism and the Future of Democracy


·  Panel 2: People to People Diplomacy: The Pathway to Collaboration and Shared Prosperity

 

The details on the conference are as follows:

 

Date: 13th October 2022 

Time: 14:00 to 18:00 (Hong Kong Time)
