Colleagues at the UBC Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) in Hong Kong are asking if it is possible to obtain a recording of the recent Japanese election panel discussion, so that it can be uploaded to the APRO website. Could you please advise if this is possible? Thank you.
Hi Selina,
The event was webcast, but we are not sure if it was recorded. You may want to contact our colleagues at the Liu Institute for Global Issues for more information. Julie Wagemakers at the link below may be able to provide some assistance.
Best,
