On June 21, 2021, the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) organized the China-Japan-Korea Journalism Seminar at the Foreign Press Center Korea. Nine reporters from the three countries joined the seminar. TCS Secretary-General MICHIGAMI Hisashi and Deputy Secretary-General CAO Jing attended the seminar.

Under the theme of “New Changes and New Trends in CJK Media,” journalists discussed the pandemic’s effects on journalism, digital transformation in the media business, and the TCS’ role in promoting trilateral media cooperation.

Secretary-General MICHIGAMI delivered opening remarks. In his remarks, he said that deepening communication and mutual understanding among journalists are meaningful for trilateral cooperation. He hopes journalists can find new ways to deal with the challenges and changes through exchanging opinions and learning from each other.

Following his remarks, participating journalists shared their experiences and difficulties during the pandemic and discussed the importance of seeking facts.

TCS initiated the journalist exchange program in 2014 to provide opportunities for mutual exchange and understanding among journalists in the three countries.
