HKU Forum on Japanese Relations with China and Asia

28 Nov 2005

 

Relations between Japan and other Asian countries, especially China, are as important today as ever. Experts from Japan, China, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom will analyse the current situation in a roundtable discussion to be held at HKU on 29 November 2005. In particular, the discussion will focus on how to move forward in a constructive way from the anti-Japanese sentiments in China, Korea and Hong Kong and the Japanese reactions to such feelings.

Members of the press are cordially invited to attend and participate in the forum:
