FISIP UPNVJ – The United States is a major trading partner for most Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia. However, COVID-19 raises anxieties that it will disrupt the significant bilateral trade relationship.

To discuss regional trade trends, Pacific Forum International in collaboration with US Embassy Jakarta, UPN Veteran Jakarta, and CSIS Indonesia organized a public discussion on “Exploring Regional Trade & the Challenges of the Post-Covid-19 Economy,” that took place virtually on February 23, 2021.

The international webinar involved academics and researchers from three different institutions: Dr. Bradley Jensen Murg, Associate Professor of Political Science at Paragon International University of Phnom Penh; Dr. Shanti Darmastuti, lecturer of International Relations Study Program at UPN Veteran Jakarta; and Mr. Rocky Intan, researcher at CSIS Indonesia.
