From Burma to Vietnam: Implications for the US in Southeast Asia
Presented by Viet Tan, hosted with
the Institute for Global and International Studies @ The Elliott School of International Affairs:
The recent release of political prisoners in Burma seems to suggest a new era of reform. Yet Burmese activists and US policy makers disagree on what is real and significant change. What does Burma mean for the democracy movement in Vietnam and can recent developments be replicated? Why is democratic reform in both Burma and Vietnam important to the US? Join us on Thursday, February 16th at 6:30pm for these answers and more.
Panelists include:
Do Hoang Diem, Vietnamese democracy activist & Chairman of Viet Tan
Libby Liu, President of Radio Free Asia
Moderated by Duy Hoang, Spokesperson of Viet Tan
Light refreshments & snacks will be served
