The Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) successfully organized the 4th Young Ambassador Program (YAP) from August 1 to 12 in Seoul and Jeju, ROK. The YAP is a 2-week program that offers a range of opportunities for highly motivated and competent youth of China, Japan, and the ROK to enhance understanding of trilateral cooperation and to foster a sense of community and friendship among the future leaders of the three countries.

 


This year, the YAP was joined by 16 highly qualified undergraduate and graduate students of the three countries. The program consisted of lectures on the major fields of trilateral cooperation: history and development, political affairs, economic cooperation, and social issues, as well as briefings by each department of the TCS to help enhance the participants’ understanding of the functions and activities of the TCS. The participants also paid visits to government agencies (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the ROK, Chinese and Japanese Embassies, Jeju Provincial Government), international organizations (UNESCAP, UNISDR, ASEAN-Korea Centre, EU Delegation to the ROK), think-tanks (ASAN Institute of Foreign Policies), and engaged in team projects as well as cultural activities.
