Full text of joint statement from South Korea-Japan-China trilateral summit
BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Yonhap) -- The following is the full text of a joint statement
issued at the trilateral summit Saturday among South Korea, Japan and China.
Joint Statement on the Tenth Anniversary of Trilateral Cooperation among the
People's Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea
Beijing, China, 10 October 2009
On the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Cooperation,
we, the heads of Government/State of the People's Republic of China, Japan and the
Republic of Korea met in Beijing, China on 10 October 2009. We reviewed the course
of trilateral cooperation in the past and drew up plans for its future development.
We reached the common understanding that since the launch of the trilateral
cooperation in 1999, the common interests of the three countries have continuously
grown, the mechanisms for dialogue have been further broadened and the cooperation
in a whole range of fields has been promoted, yielding highly fruitful results. The
three countries have enhanced political mutual trust through the forging of a
future-oriented comprehensive cooperative partnership. With the rapid increase in
trilateral economic cooperation as well as trade and investment, the three countries
have emerged as important trading partners to one another. Cultural and
people-to-people exchanges were dynamic and close, which greatly enhanced the mutual
understanding and friendship among the peoples. The three countries remained
committed to the development of an East Asia community based on the principles of
openness, transparency, inclusiveness as a long term goal, and to regional
cooperation, while maintaining increased trilateral communication and coordination
on regional and international affairs.
We expressed the common recognition that the achievements over the past decade
proved that to reinforce cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK serves the
fundamental interests of the three countries and peoples, and moreover, contributes
to regional peace, stability and prosperity. In this context, the three countries
also recognized the significance of the "Joint Statement for Tripartite Partnership"
issued at the first trilateral Summit in Fukuoka, Japan.
We believe that as the world undergoes major changes and adjustments,
China-Japan-ROK cooperation will have many opportunities for development in the
coming decade. We will view and approach the trilateral cooperative relationship
from a strategic point of view, and will constantly aim to bring our cooperation to
higher levels.
We believe that mutual respect, equality, common interests, openness, transparency
and respect for our diverse cultures constitute the foundation and guarantee for
trilateral cooperation, and these principles should be followed in future trilateral
cooperation. In the spirit of facing history squarely and advancing towards the
future, the three countries will explore the potential and expand the areas of
cooperation. We will push the trilateral relations forward in the direction of
good-neighborliness, mutual trust, comprehensive cooperation, mutual benefit and
common development. We are convinced that this will contribute to world peace,
stability and prosperity.
With this in mind, we have agreed to:
1. Build up mutual trust in the political field. We will step up high-level contacts
and strategic dialogues, strengthen mutual understanding, expand common ground and
build solid strategic mutual trust. We will regard one another as partners of
win-win cooperation. We will support one another's peaceful development and regard
it as an opportunity. We will respect one another's major concerns and core
interests. We will properly address sensitive issues and seek settlement of disputes
through dialogue and consultation. We will strengthen security dialogue and
facilitate exchange and cooperation among the defense or military personnel of the
three countries.
2. Deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. We will make full use of the high
complementarities and great potential of the three economies and bring to higher
levels our cooperation in key areas such as business, trade, finance, investment,
logistics, intellectual property, customs, information, science and technology,
energy conservation, environmental protection and circular economy. We will step up
our efforts to develop green economy, improve the quality of economic development,
oppose trade protectionism in all forms, uphold a fair, free and open global trading
and investment system. We are determined to seek an ambitious and balanced
conclusion to the Doha Development Round in 2010, consistent with its mandate, based
on the progress already made, including with regard to modalities. By making full
use of existing fora, including ASEAN+3, EAS, APEC and G20, we will continuously
inject fresh vitality into the recovery and stable development of the economy of
Asia and the world.
3. Expand people-to-people exchanges. We will continue to conduct exchanges among
all sectors of the three countries, particularly friendly youth exchanges and
exchanges among universities. We will consider establishing a long-term mechanism
for youth and media exchanges, encourage academic institutions and local
authorities, and promote closer trilateral cooperation in areas such as disaster
management, healthcare, tourism, human resources, education and sports. We will
carry forward the spirit of peace and friendship and promote affinity among our
three peoples while respecting each culture so as to enhance popular support for the
stable, healthy and friendly development of the trilateral relations.
4. Promote peace, stability and prosperity of Asia. We will further strengthen
cooperation so as to promote development of regional and sub-regional cooperation of
various mechanisms such as ASEAN integration and community-building, ASEAN+3, East
Asia Summit, ASEAN Regional Forum and APEC. We will remain committed to dialogue and
consultation and continue to work through peaceful means to pursue the
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We will make joint efforts with other
parties for an early resumption of the Six-Party Talks, so as to safeguard peace and
stability in Northeast Asia, and thereby to build an Asia of peace, harmony,
openness and prosperity.
5. Actively respond to global issues. We will strengthen communication and
consultation on regional and international affairs such as climate change, financial
risks, energy security, public health, natural disasters, terrorism, arms control,
disarmament and non-proliferation, and UN reform. We will actively participate in
reforms in the international political, economic and financial fields and join the
rest of the international community to work unremittingly for global peace,
development and prosperity.
Looking ahead to the next decade, we are full of confidence and hope for the
consolidation of the tripartite partnership and comprehensive cooperation. We firmly
believe that in keeping with the calling of the times and with the development of
our three countries, cooperation among China, Japan and the Republic of Korea will
embrace an even brighter future, benefiting not only the three countries but also
indeed the world .
