The Paracel Archipelago:
Implications for Peace and Security after 40 Years of China’s Occupation

      Saturday, January 11, 2014 • 10:00-15:00

       

      Hosted by a group of intellectuals in the Greater Boston Region

       

      Conference room at Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University

      5 Bryant, Cambridge, MA 02138

From January 17-19, 1974, China used its military force to occupy the Paracel Archipelago. Since then, China has claimed that this is a bilateral issue between China and Vietnam and has rejected multilateral efforts at dealing with the situation.

The purpose of the conferences is:

1. To find out whether the Paracel Archipelago is an issue that affects the security and interest of the whole East and Southeast Asia region, and possibly beyond.

2. To discuss possible scenarios for settlement of the issue and for peace and stability in the region.

This event is open to public. However, since seats are limited and we need to have a fairly accurate count for lunch, we would appreciate your reservation through this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Do6J7MjzxbvQEw0TUmkJvF8zOBNVVXM4hy9Be5fi3Hk/viewform or the email hoangsa40nam@gmail.com.
