These former political leaders will share their experiences in exploring globalization and economic development strategies with students, helping students gain insights into the concepts and practices of leadership across different cultural, social, economic, and political contexts. Through interactive seminars and group research presentations, students will develop a profound understanding of the leadership characteristics required for building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind.
