The 2024 Trilateral Visionary Group (TVG) was successfully held on November 27-29 in Seoul, Korea. The 2024 TVG was co-organized by the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS), the Korea Foundation (KF), and the China Public Diplomacy Association (CPDA). The event brought together 14 TVG members from the ROK, Japan, and China to engage in in-depth discussions on the progress, challenges, and opportunities of trilateral cooperation in the political, economic, and socio-cultural areas.
The political session spoke highly of the developments of trilateral cooperation since the last TVG meeting, especially the 9th Trilateral Summit held in May 2024 in Seoul. The members emphasized the significance of trilateral cooperation amidst the increasing regional and global uncertainties. They agreed that the three countries should seek the common ground of cooperation while respecting differences when dealing with political and security issues, maintain regular and close communication to increase mutual trust and bring more concrete benefits to the peoples of the three countries. They look forward to the 10th Trilateral Summit and the 3rd TVG meeting to be successfully held in 2025 in Japan.
The economic session focused on the concerted efforts to maintain stable and resilient industrial & supply chains among the three countries in the face of common challenges. The TVG members shared the consensus that the three countries benefit from the international free trade system and share the responsibility to further develop it. They suggested that the three countries should also leverage new opportunities for cooperation in emerging fields to promote their respective development.
In the socio-cultural session, TVG members appreciated the efforts of the three governments in further facilitating people-to-people exchanges. They highlighted the significance of broader participation from all sectors of society, especially among young generations, local governments, think tanks, media, and private sectors, in advancing mutual understanding and friendship.
The 2024 TVG was a follow-up event of the 9th Trilateral Summit, which welcomed the TVG to bring together eminent figures from the three countries for proposals for further improving the trilateral process. Through 4-5 meetings during the mandate of two years, the TVG is expected to submit a non-binding recommendation report to the three governments.
