Time has flown by since our days at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL); we have journeyed together, hand in hand, chasing our dreams. It is amazing to see our fellow alumni thriving in their careers across the globe and excelling in their fields.

With the LLM International Business Law (IBL) programme marking its 20th anniversary milestone this year, a celebration was held at Changning Campus of ECUPL on 10 March 2024, thanks to the initiative of the IBL Alumni Committee.

This event could not have been successfully organised without the generous contribution from a number of law firms where fellow alumni are currenting working. More than 100 alumni took part in this event in person and a few alumni joined up virtually. Prof Stephen Phua and Prof CT Kuan from NUS, as well as Prof Yang Yanping, Prof Yang Zhongxiao, Prof Shao Jun, Associate Prof Li Na, Associate Prof Peng Xu, and Associate Prof Shi Xiangrui from ECUPL, graced the event.

It is worth highlighting that a presentation on Cross-border Investment by the current batch of IBL students was included at the end of the event to showcase the skills they learned from the programme. Let us look forward to the next 20 years of the IBL programme.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
