■ Message
The foundational underpinning of the past international order is crushing down. Today, our attention tends to be fixed on the constant arrival of big international news. But now is precisely the time we need to get back to the basics, analyze things critically, and speak clearly. With nearly 42 years of diplomatic experience, I am hoping to help students nurture skills to prepare for their future career. Let's discuss today's international situation critically together.
