I had a chance to work as a visiting fellow at a research institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This experience allowed me to attend conferences about ASEAN countries’ integration, where I gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration. I also got involved in projects related to the Mekong River’s trade and its trade connections with China. Thanks to these experiences, I was able to meet and interact with local trade companies and researchers, which helped me to expand my network.
