Proposal Made at “the Future Leaders Forum:
China-Japan-Korea” was Presented to Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Japan Foundation has been organizing “Future Leaders Forum:
China-Japan-Korea”, a dialogue program among young future leaders from the three countries, implemented jointly with All-China Youth Federation (China) and the Korea Foundation (Korea).
In the forums held in past years, 6 future leaders selected from respective countries in the field of politics, public administrations, business sectors, academics, media, and NPOs gather annually to promote mutual understanding and networking through workshops, discussion and opinion exchanges, touring through the three countries for ten days. This forum has been held eight times since its initiation in 2002 and has invited 46 people from Japan, 42 from China and 45 from Korea.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this program, a special forum was held to discuss future relations among Japan, China and Korea by the past program participants.
The special forum was categorized into three groups of politics, economics and civil societies. “Vision 2030 for Northeast Asia” was proposed after deliberate discussion by the past participants and presented to the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the occasion of a courtesy call on the following day.
