TCS hosted the 9th Trilateral Journalist Exchange Program (TJEP 2025) in Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul. Under the theme “Trilateral Cooperation: Towards a Shared Future”, the week-long program brought together 12 journalists from China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea to deepen their understanding of trilateral cooperation and explore its future direction. 

During the program, participants paid visits to foreign ministry officials, visited various organizations, conducted joint interviews, engaged in meaningful discussions and explored different cultures.  They also exchanged ideas with fellow journalists, shared experiences, and formed friendships that will extend beyond this program.  

This year’s TJEP marked the program’s return to its previous format of visiting all three countries for the first time since the pandemic.
