Participants consisted of university professors from numerous countries such as the UK, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan, the Philippines, UAE, Singapore, and Laos.
Professors from various universities attended the conference.
The event gathered scientists of South Korea and Southeast Asian countries on the basis of connecting human resources and mutual exchanges through the publication of their research papers. In the opening remarks, Dr. Chung Healing, BUFS’s President, appreciated the effort of the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies in implementing a meaningful project since 2009 in order to build a network of scientists of South Korea and Southeast Asian nations. It is essential for the university to share its human resource, stimulate research capacity, and improve the quality of teaching staff to offer training services that meet real-life needs. He believed that the success of the project, which ends in 2018, would be widespread. With its prestige, the university would attract more new projects from the government.
The conference put great emphasis on cultural elements in the development of Southeast Asian countries in which they should avoid conflicts in order to maintain peace and mutual union. Prof. Meynadro P. Mendoza (Ateneo de Manila University, the Philippines) reminded the story of Khmer rouge as a lesson of the development for those countries.
In another discussion, Prof. Bae Yang Soo, Dean of the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, expressed his strong disapproval for China’s act on the issue of the East Sea, which poses threats to local fishermen, regional security and socio-economic development of the neighboring countries.
