About this Seminar
|
Dr. Yan Xuetong will discuss how China's foreign policy is decided by its national interests and the character of its relations with other nations. Dr. Yan believes that China tries to implement multilateralism and seeks economic cooperation with the U.S., endeavors to normalize relations with Japan by enlarging economic cooperation, seeks to improve relations with the EU by expanding cooperation, and tries to strengthen its consultative strategic relations with Russia by enlarging economic cooperation in the military industry and by institutionalizing strategic summits.

About the Seminar Program
|
The "Asian Voices: Promoting Dialogue between the US and Asia" Seminar Program seeks to provide a forum for Asian voices to be heard within the Washington community-voices on a wide range of regional and global topics. The Seminar Program, however, will not be restricted solely to Asia-Pacific issues, or US-Japan relations, but will focus on the broader global questions that confront both parts of the world.
