Présentation de la conférence (en anglais) :

Since 2012, the strategic situation in East Asia has been tense and Japan is at the forefront of these tensions.

The speaker will share his views on the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Strait, and the South and East China Seas.

While trying to analyse commonality as well as differences and draw lessons, he will focus on what France and Japan can and should do to confront a potentially volatile situation.
