TC Activities 2015 Trilateral Journalist Exchange Program in Japan, China, and Korea
2015.04.15 ~ 2015.04.24
The
Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) organized the 2015 Trilateral
Journalist Exchange Program in Japan, China, and Korea (visiting country
order) from April 15th to 24th, 2015. Mr. CHEN Feng, the TCS Deputy
Secretary General, led the journalist delegation consisted of 12
journalists from three countries (4 journalists from each country).
This
year, the program was focused on the socio-cultural aspects of the
trilateral cooperation and in-depth communication between C-J-K
journalists and general public. During the program, the journalist
delegation visited governmental agencies related to trilateral
cooperation in the fields of politics, tourism, and education and major
cultural attractions in three Capitol cities holding joint-meetings.
Also, the journalist delegation held series of roundtables and dialogues
at universities and think-tanks with cultural/political figures,
scholars, and university students of three countries. Meeting with
previous participants (2014 Trilateral Journalist Exchange Program) in
each country was another meaningful schedule enlarging the trilateral
journalist network.
Throughout
the series of dialogues, journalist delegation shared frank opinions on
mutual understandings and media’s role in three countries. Further,
they expressed not only the improvement of perception toward other two
countries but also increase of knowledge on trilateral relationship. Based
on these positive impressions, journalist delegation suggested various
feasible ideas which could contribute to better relationship between
three countries and reasonable media coverage. As one of these ideas,
establishment of “Trilateral Press Club” (tentative name) serving as the
center for information sharing and continuous communication between
C-J-K journalists was suggested by participants.
This
year, TCS organized the trilateral journalist exchange program for the
second occasion as an annual basis program. As an international
organization mandated to promote cooperative relations among China,
Japan, and Korea, the TCS will continue its efforts to facilitate mutual
understanding between three countries and contribute to constructive
media environment upon the co-prosperity of the three countries.
