The EAI interns took part in the U.S.-China Relations (UCR) Forum, held on Monday, January 25th, at Kukdo Hotel. EAI publishes a monthly Statement Factsheet entitled “U.S.-China Relations Briefings” on the main aspects of cooperation and conflict over various issues between the two countries.

The EAI UCR Forum, which is part of the internship training program offered to university students, offered an opportunity for Korean and international undergraduate and graduate students to give presentations and, along with the panelists, debate and discuss major issues between the United Stated and China. A merit award was given to Gordon Gatlin (Yonsei University) and Solah Kim (Kwangwoon University), for their presentation entitled “The Future of the Asian-Pacific Economic Order: Competing or Complimentary?”
