On August 11, 2025, the 4th Trilateral Agricultural Ministers’ Meeting (TAMM) was held in Incheon, Republic of Korea (ROK). The meeting was chaired by Ms. SONG Miryung, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) of the ROK, and attended by Mr. KOIZUMI Shinjiro, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, and Mr. HAN Jun, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China. The Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) delegation, headed by Secretary-General LEE Hee-sup attended the meeting.
The meeting began with the screening of an opening video jointly produced by the TCS and MAFRA. The three ministries acknowledged the TCS’s contributions to advancing trilateral cooperation in the agricultural sector. The ministers then exchanged views and shared recent policy developments on six key agenda items: Food Security, Animal Diseases, Sustainable Agriculture, Rural Revitalization, Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS), and Global Cooperation.
SG LEE highlighted the significance of the meeting, noting that it marked the resumption of TAMM after a hiatus of six years and nine months. He also underscored the importance of the Trilateral Young Rural Leaders’ Exchange Program (TREP), operated by the TCS since 2023, as a platform for connecting future generations in the agricultural sector.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the ministers signed a Joint Communiqué outlining decisions on future cooperation. They agreed to further strengthen collaboration with the TCS to ensure steady progress under TAMM and its cooperation mechanisms.
On the margins of the ministerial meeting, SG LEE paid bilateral courtesy calls on Ms. SONG Miryung, Mr. KOIZUMI Shinjiro, and Mr. HAN Jun.
The Trilateral Agricultural Ministers’ Meeting was first convened in 2012 and has previously been held in April 2012 in the ROK, September 2015 in Japan, and November 2018 in China. The 5th TAMM will be hosted by Japan.
