Workshop

Course Dissemination "Multilateral Diplomacy"

2020 mark a big milestone in multilateral diplomacy of Vietnam when it is holding dual very important task: ASEAN Chairmanship and non-permanent member of UNSC. In times like these, when political, economic, social and environmental issues are increasingly becoming a global affair, we need to encourage our youth to take part in education on Multilateral Diplomacy more than ever – That was the starting point of this project when KAS Vietnam decided to support the Faculty of International Politics and Diplomacy, Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam a 3 year activity started from 2018 with 5 phases as follows: 1. A 7-day workshop on course-building (where we had very profound experts in this field Professor Ralf Emmers and Professor Tan See Seng who came to Vietnam to conduct one week training for 12 collaborating teaching experts) 2. Syllabus building and assessment at DAV; 3. Developing course materials; 4. Pilot teaching at DAV – which I heard this new subject received very positive feedback from both teachers and students And today, 2 October 2020 is the final event to launch the course “Multilateral Diplomacy”. Speaking at the opening remark, Mr. Peter Girke confirmed: this is “a small but noble” activity. When we started this project in 2018, we didn’t never think that Vietnam shall be elected as non-permanent member of UNSC, but now it is and thus, this course becomes very trendy and there will be many practical experiences to be shared/trained when the course is in class. Mr. Do Hung Viet – Director General of the Department of International Organisation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a key notes speak in which he emphasized the role of multilateral diplomacy and how multilateral cooperation mutually support for bilateral cooperation and national interests as well. In additional to DAV, the launching workshop received participation of teachers of 17 universities nationwide who is in charge of international relation subject in their profession. This “multilateral diplomacy” is the first ever course in Vietnam and therefore it showcased the success in collaboration between KAS and DAV.

Japan-EU relationship:

Recommendations on SPA

The implementation of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) from February 2019 provided the basis for the conference discussion concerning trade and economic issues. The EPA, being the largest free trade agreement ever concluded, is of course very important, especially at present when some other countries instead have turned more towards protectionism. Moreover, the EPA provides predictability, transparency, and a roadmap for the development of EU-Japan trade and investment ties in the years to come. Regarding the EU-Japan Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA), which was concluded in tandem with the EPA, and is now under provisional implementation, the picture is much more vague. While the EU and Japan have defined the priorities areas, i.e. the areas Brussels and Tokyo have chosen from a list of more than 40 areas formulated in the SPA – discussions on how and when to do this have only just begun. The purpose of this publication is to take a few of the most innovative ideas presented at the conference and add some new thoughts and initiatives that have developed since then. In this way we aim to make several policy recommendations that we believe can assist in moving forward mutually and globally beneficial EU-Japan cooperation in several diverse fields.
