Trilateral Cooperation Vision 2020
 
Share

We, the Leaders of the People's Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, convened in Jeju, Korea on May 29, 2010, on the occasion of the Third Trilateral Summit Meeting.

We express our satisfaction with the visualization of substantial outcomes derived from the past decade of our cooperation, in the field of political affairs, economy, culture, and people-to-people exchanges. We will continue to uphold and fully implement the common views enunciated in the Joint Declaration on the Promotion of Tripartite Cooperation, Joint Statement for Tripartite Partnership and the Joint Statement on the 10th Anniversary of Trilateral Cooperation among the People's Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

We confirm that there still remains great room for the development of trilateral cooperation in promoting the exchange of people, goods, services and capital, and in the field of regional and global issues led by the world's trend in globalization. In the spirit of facing history squarely and advancing towards the future, we will unswervingly continue to push the trilateral relations forward in the direction of good-neighborliness, mutual trust, comprehensive cooperation, mutual benefit and common development.

We share the common recognition that by presenting specific goals and visions to be achieved through cooperation by 2020, when the next decade ends, we need to combine our capacities and enhance trilateral cooperation to a higher level so that our future-oriented comprehensive cooperative partnership will be more solid, cooperation to our mutual benefit in all areas will be more fruitful, the sentiments of friendship among our peoples will be more profound, and the trilateral cooperation will serve common interests of the three countries and contribute to peace, stability and prosperity of the East Asian region and the world at large.

With this in mind, we have decided as follows:

I. Institutionalization and Enhancement of Trilateral Partnership

1-1. We envision the advancement of building solid strategic mutual trust among the three countries by stepping up high-level contacts and the development of friendship and amity among the peoples of the three countries, while deepening and expanding trilateral exchange and through inter-governmental cooperative mechanisms such as the Summit Meeting, Foreign Ministers' Meeting, other Ministerial Meetings, Senior Foreign Affairs Officials' Consultation, etc.

1-2. We will establish the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat in the Republic of Korea in 2011 in order to promote and strengthen trilateral cooperation. The Secretariat will provide support for the operation and management of the trilateral consultative mechanisms such as the Trilateral Summit Meeting, the Foreign Ministers' Meeting, other Ministerial Meetings, and the Senior Foreign Affairs Officials' Consultation, and facilitate the exploration and implementation of cooperative projects.

1-3. To jointly respond to natural disasters effectively and contribute to disaster risk reduction in Northeast Asia, we will endeavor to fully utilize existing institutions and organizations in sharing disaster-related information, policies, and technologies including Japan-China-Korea Trilateral Head of Government Agency level Meeting on Disaster Management.

1-4. We will explore the possibility to establish the Trilateral Defense Dialogue in order to strengthen security dialogue and facilitate exchange and cooperation among the defense or military personnel of the three countries.

1-5. We will establish a close cooperative mechanism among the police authorities of the three countries in order to jointly respond to international crimes and enhance the trilateral policing cooperation.

1-6. We envision the advancement of exchanges among the local governments of the three countries as we strengthen cooperation in administrative, economic, and cultural areas by expanding the sisterhood relationship among the three countries

II. Sustainable Economic Cooperation for Common Prosperity

2-1. By the year 2012, we will endeavor to complete the Joint Study for an FTA among China, Japan and Korea, which was launched in May 2010. Through the Joint Study, we will pursue a common understanding among the three countries on issues involved, for a practical reference for the future negotiations of a possible FTA among China, Japan and Korea. Furthermore, we will continue to work towards further economic integration of the three countries in the long term, including the establishment of a common market in the region.

2-2. Aiming to increase the volume of trilateral trade by 2020, which is vital for further regional economic growth and integration, we will continuously improve the trilateral trade environment through greater trade facilitation efforts.

2-3. We recognize that establishing a coordinated and efficient transport and logistics system among the three countries will benefit the reduction of product costs and the improvement of international competitiveness. Therefore, we advocate continuing to take full advantage of China-Japan-Korea Transport and Logistics Ministerial Conference and bilateral policy dialogues to push forward the development of transport logistics network in Northeast Asia, for the purpose of a seamless logistics system.
