The Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) in collaboration with China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and Dalian Municipal Government of China hosted the Trilateral Business Networking Seminar and Reception in Dalian, China on January 17th, 2014. At the occasion of the events, the CCPIT, the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) and Keidanren of Japan held a working consultation on expending exchanges and promoting cooperation.
Amb. IWATANI Shigeo,
the TCS Secretary General, Mr. YU Ping, Vice President of CCPIT, Mr. PARK
Chan-ho, Secretary-General of FKI, Mr. KUBOTA Masakazu, Senior Managing
Director of Keidanren and more than 100 business representatives of China, the
ROK and Japan participated in the seminar. They discussed business
opportunities and challenges by the CJK FTA and prospect of trilateral industry
cooperation, and offered suggestions on trilateral local economic cooperation.
There was a general consensus that economic bonds among the three countries
constitute bedrock for the trilateral friendship and cooperation which should
be steadfastly promoted. The business representatives expressed their hope for
a satisfactory and successful conclusion of the CJK FTA, and agreed to further
expand win-win-win partnerships among the business circles of the three
countries, as well as to explore establishing institutionalized exchange
platforms, for functional cooperation in trade, finance and industries. They
also recognized that Dalian enjoys special advantages and may develop into the
bridgehead for Trilateral Business Cooperation.
This is the second
occasion for the TCS to host the trilateral business networking events,
following the first reception among local business groups in Seoul, the ROK in
January 2013. As an international organization mandated to promote cooperative
relations among China, the ROK and Japan, the TCS will continue its efforts to
facilitate trilateral business partnership and contribute to the co-prosperity
of the three countries.
