Japanese and Korean Interpreting at Stanford APEC Summit
Bilingva provided interpreting and translation equipment at a Summit Discussion with Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan and President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea.
The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) hosted the Prime Minister of Japan, Kishida Fumio, and the President of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, for a special summit discussion.
The event co-hosts were the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) and Hoover Institution.
Bilingva was honored to have been selected as the interpreting company to provide services in Japanese and Korean language along with all the translation equipment required for the high profile event.
Following remarks by Prime Minister Kishida and President Yoon on the challenges and future of science and technology, honored gueses engaged in a moderated conversation with Secretary Condoleezza Rice, the Tad and Dianne Taube Director of the Hoover Institution.
Discussion topics included decarbonization and clean energy, quantum technology, and startup innovation.
Speakers also included Professors Gi-Wook Shin and Kiyoteru Tsutsui, Director and Deputy Director of APARC, respectively, and Professor Michael McFaul, Director of FSI.
This historic gathering on the Stanford campus of the leaders of the two key U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific — a convening that would have been almost unthinkable just over a year ago — followed a period in which the two leaders have made extraordinary progress in strengthening Japan-ROK bilateral relations, and was particularly significant in the aftermath of the August 2023 Camp David U.S.-Japan-ROK trilateral summit, which has been touted as the beginning of a new era in trilateral cooperation among the three allies as they seek to advance peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.
