At the 8th Asian Borderlands Research Network (ABRN) Conference in Taiwan, around 150 experts from 37 countries came together to discuss how borders in Asia are being reimagined in times of global change.

The Hanns Seidel Foundation Korea contributed to the discussions by sharing perspectives on rethinking borders through cooperation, dialogue, and transboundary exchange in Northeast Asia.
