14.12.2010
The Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, His Excellency Liu Biwei will deliver a lecture at UCC on Wednesday, December 15th 2010 titled "View China Objectively, Achieve Common Development Cooperatively.” This is the fifth lecture in a series of lectures titled “Ireland in the New Asia” involving the key Asian ambassadors to Ireland, aimed at highlighting the opportunities and challenges for Irish people who, increasingly, will look to the East for a brighter future.

The lecture series will conclude until January 12th next when His Excellency Yuri Octavian Thamrin, Indonesian Ambassador to Ireland, will give the closing talk.

The need for a deeper understanding of Asian societies, languages, politics and economies, has never been as important, and the lecture series is designed to present new insights that will help to chart the way forward. As well as focusing on economic issues, the ambassadors will discuss cultural ties between their countries and Ireland, the business vista in each country and how Ireland’s role in a resurgent Asia might develop in the future.

The ambassadors’ lecture series will continue at 4pm in the Council Room, North Wing, UCC.
