Foreign Policy: Europe and Asia | an academic seminar in Hanoi
- 09/30/2025

- E4 Building, University of Economics and Business
Dr. Arnaud Leveau, president of Asia Centre, will hold an academic seminar, with Nguyen Canh Cuong, about foreign Policy in Europe and Asia, discussing shifts, trends and impacts, at the VNU University of Economics and Business.
The global landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. The era of unquestioned globalization is giving way to a new reality defined by:
- Economic “De-risking” & Supply Chain Re-shoring
- The “Securitization” of Trade (from chips to critical minerals)
- The Rise of Middle Powers as pragmatic bridges
- Navigating Geopolitical Flashpoints from Ukraine to the South China Sea
We will dissect these shifts and their direct impact on global trade from a Euro-Asian perspective.
Join the conversation as we explore:
- How domestic politics is reshaping international relations.
- The move from economic integration to strategic fragmentation.
- Vietnam’s unique opportunity as a top “China+1” destination and a balancer on the world stage.
- The path to forging a resilient and pragmatic Euro-Asian Partnership.
