On 9th November, the five Mexico City-based ASEAN Ambassadors participated in the academic talk at Universidad de las Americas Puebla (UDLAP), one of Mexico’s well known universities for International Studies, Engineering and Social Science. It is a prestigious Mexican university of higher education where foreign students spend one or two semesters at the University located in Cholula City, State of Puebla. The talk was organized by the Embassy of Malaysia in its capacity as the current chair of ACMC.
In the presence of approximately 90 UDLAP students, the talk was moderated by Dr. Juan Antonio Le Clercq Ortega, Academic Director of Department of International Relations and Political Sciences. Present also was H.E. Ambassador Raphael Steger Cataño, Dean of the School of Social Science. The Ambassadors of Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and the Charge d’Affaires a.i. of Vietnam respectively delivered a talk on bilateral relations and cooperation between their respective countries and Mexico.
During the talk, students from the faculty of Social Science were enthusiastic and interested in learning more about ASEAN and individual country`s relations with Mexico as well as the dynamic progress and development of ASEAN as a region in moving forward beyond the 21st Century. Based on the audience`s feedbacks, the talk has been successful in making them understand better ASEAN thus making ASEAN more visible and known to the public in Puebla.
