"Having worked with the young and promising colleagues from ELSA International on WTO Moot Court Competition (EMC2) for Asia Regional Rounds since 2005 and for Final Oral Round in 2009, I am persuaded that ELSA has contributed deeply to and has very positive influence on the legal education on WTO law throughout the world. I decided to accept the invitation to become patron of ELSA to show the recognition of the achievement of ELSA from the perspective of Asia and with the hope that the goals will also be shared by more people in different parts of the world."
