2013.6.18 KIP Forum "Attitude toward international conferences: How to forward thenegotiations with foreign people"
Forum in June: We invited Mr. Chihiro Sakuraba, who is the Deputy Director-General of International Department, Bank of Japan. On the title of "Attitude toward international conferences: How to forward thenegotiations with foreign people", Chihiro Mr.Sakuraba gave us a speech. He talked about the reality of international conferences and tactics that leads to successful negotiation. His stories from his own experiences in the previous G7 affiliate meetings were fully shared by the forum participants. A selected case was the 2001 crisis management in Turkey. Following a general explanation on the economic crisis in Turkey, ChihiroMr. Sakuraba explained the difference of objective among G7 countries as well as the financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He also taught us the importance of seeing through the essence, throwing away our prejudices and persuading other persons in a brief manner.
At the last session, we did case study about central bank liquidity swap arrangements among Japan, China, and South Korea. Every team discussed from a different perspective and reached a unique conclusion.
Through case studies, I we studied two important points on how to get a successful persuasion. The first point is to show clearly the difference from the other teams. The second point is to focus on only one main point. And I think I we also learned that we should get capacity of adapting to the circumstances, flexibility toward any changes and capacity of extracting the essence. (Shun Hasegawa)
