This agreement enabled Vladimir Ionesco to inaugurate this internship. After six months with Senator Inuzuka, he began in February 2010 a second six-month internship as an Assistant Trader at Crédit Agricole CIB in Japan.

At the heart of Japanese diplomacy, Vladimir Ionesco was able to take part in international discussions and come into contact with top political personalities.
