On April 27, 2015, Dr. Deborah Elms, the Executive Director of the Asian Trade Center in Singapore, gave a lecture on the topic of “Origins, Evolution and Current Status of TPP Negotiations.” As the bilateral negotiation between the US and Japan is known to be agreed and the TPP negotiation is imminently heading to a conclusion, this lecture timely served the students’ interests in such a proper way. Dr. Elms provided well-arranged and extensive explanations on the details of TPP history, agreed draft contents, and prospects. As TPP was often mystified due to tight control of information, students were eager to engage in the discussions on this allegedly new “21st century high quality” agreement.
