SOSS congratulates two SMU students, Ms Kim Shi Yin (LLB student with second major in International and Asian Studies) and Mr Adam Bin Iryadi (LLB student), who were selected to participate in the Model ASEM 2014 (student simulation of ASEM summit in Milan). Both of them were enrolled in a SOSS module, European Union Politics, which helped to lay the groundwork and prepared them for the event. One hundred and fifty selected participants gathered in Milan, from 8 -11 October 2014, for a simulation of an intergovernmental summit inspired by the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). The actual 10th ASEM Summit took place from 16-17 October 2014 in Milan, Italy. At Model ASEM 2014, students negotiated, shared their vision on Asia-Europe collaboration and built up consensus for a declaration on ASEM related issues such as sustainable growth, security and public health. Shi Yin won an award for the speech she delivered at the event while Adam represented Singapore. Heartiest congratulations to both!
