About the course

In partnership with the National Press Foundation (NPF), we offered an International Trade Training for Journalists in Asia, a four-day workshop on all aspects of sustainable international trade.

Our journalist fellows learn from experts in foreign direct investment, treaties that shape trade, economic growth, social and environmental impacts, emerging economies, how the World Trade Organization works, China’s unique role, access to research and data, and more.
