ISEAS and the Pacific Trade and Development Conference (PAFTAD) co-organised a public forum on “Asia and the Middle Income Trap” on Wednesday, 3 June 2015 at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore. Mr George Yeo, former Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs was the keynote speaker.
“Why is it some nations obey international law? And what would it take for other countries to follow suit? Why are some countries reluctant to seek third party mediation?” These are some of the questions discussed on Channel NewsAsia’s discussion programme, “Perspectives” on 8 June 2015.
