The Foundation held an international academic conference on October 14 (Tuesday) in the main conference hall under the theme “China’s Strategy in East Asia and the Korean Peninsula.”

Amid the prolonged U.S.-China strategic competition, the conference explored how Japan and South Korea’s roles have emerged as key variables shaping the regional order in East Asia and examined how China perceives East Asia and the Korean Peninsula.

The conference consisted of three sessions. Sessions I and II featured presentations on “China’s East Asia Strategy and the Korean Peninsula” and “China, the Russia-Ukraine War, East Asia, and the Korean Peninsula.” The final Round Table session engaged in in-depth discussions on the Russia-Ukraine War, North Korea-China-Russia relations, and Korea’s Northern Policy and Eurasia Strategy.

Chung Yongsang, Secretary General of the Foundation, expressed his hope that the conference would serve as a meaningful opportunity to comprehensively assess the current situation of China, East Asia, and the Korean Peninsula, and to explore new policy directions for promoting peace and cooperation in the region.
