Asian, European journalists discuss global crisis
Asian and European journalists and financial experts are gathering in Hanoi to discuss impacts of the global financial crisis, the urgency of the two continents’ cooperation in dealing with those challenges as well as the world’s post-crisis future.
They expect to contribute to the international community’s efforts to weather difficulties of the global financial and economic crisis while enhancing the cooperation between the Asian and European media.
The seminar, co-organised by the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry and the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), forms part of sidelines activities to welcome the ninth ASEM Ministerial Meeting (FMM9), scheduled for May 25-26 in Hanoi.
The seminar also aims to promote information on ASEM, FMM9, ASEF, images of Vietnam, and the country’s policy to encourage the development of press.
Earlier, the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism joined with the ASEF in holding a photo exhibition of Asian and European photographers at the National Convention Centre.
More than 50 photos at the exhibition, themed “Creative economies”, present the views from different angles on the economic conditions in the two continents and their prospects in the current crisis, which underline the FMM9’s focus on Asia-Europe partnership to respond to global economic and financial crisis and challenges.
