KOREA FOUNDATION

29th Korea-Japan Forum

On December 3, the KF will hold the 29th Korea-Japan Forum online. The forum was launched in November 1993 in the wake of the Korea-Japan summit meeting held in Gyeongju. Ever since, it has been held annually, alternately in Korea and Japan, and acts as a channel to promote broad and continuous dialogue between the two countries. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s forum will be held via videoconferencing, with Korean delegates gathering at the JW Marriott Hotel Seoul.

The Korean and Japanese delegations will be joined by citizen leaders from various walks of life, including the government, parliament, economic sector, mass media, and academia. Discussing bilateral cooperation, they will focus on such topics as “The Domestic Political Situation and Society of Korea and Japan,” “Korea-Japan Responses to Changes in US-China Relations and the East Asian Order,” “Korea-Japan Cooperation in the Economic and Industrial Technology Fields,” and “How to Cope with Pending Bilateral Conflict Issues.”
