International Academic Conference Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of Korea–Japan Normalization — A Journey Toward Coexistence and Prosperity(Day 1)
- Hit 33
<Opening Remarks by Kim Woong-hee (President, Modern Japanese Studies Association)>
<Invited Lecture by Yoon Young-Kwan (Former Minister of Foreign Affairs)>
The Northeast Asian History Foundation (Chair: Park Ji-hang) and the Modern Japanese Studies Association (President: Kim Woong-hee) jointly hosted an international academic conference titled “A Journey Toward Coexistence and Prosperity” at Lotte Hotel Seoul (Sogong-dong) from 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 5. A total of 105 researchers and journalists representing Korea and Japan took part, engaging in presentations and discussions across 14 sessions.
In the invited lecture, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Yoon Young-kwan delivered a talk on “The Formation and Shaking of the Liberal International Order and Their Implications for Korea–Japan Relations.” He stressed that, amid structural changes unsettling the liberal international order that has persisted for the past 80 years, political leaders in both countries must demonstrate strong will for cooperation to overcome the crisis.
The subsequent plenary session featured two presentations under the theme “Sixty Years of Korea–Japan Relations in a Transitional International Order.” Professor Lee Won-deok (Kookmin University) spoke on “Structural Changes in the International System and the Dynamics of Korea–Japan Relations,” and Professor Emeritus Kimiya Tadashi (University of Tokyo) presented on “Korea–Japan Relations and Diplomacy at the 60th Anniversary of Normalization.”
Regarding the significance of this conference, Park Ji-hang, Chair of the Northeast Asian History Foundation, stated: “Amid rapidly changing international circumstances, Korea–Japan cooperation is an essential task for peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia. I hope this will be more than a forum for academic presentations—a venue where experts from both countries can interact and explore new possibilities.” Kim Woong-hee, President of the Modern Japanese Studies Association, added: “Going beyond a simple retrospective on the past, this will be an occasion to seek future-oriented models of cooperation under the themes of ‘coexistence’ and ‘prosperity.’”
