Joint Statement on the Tenth Anniversary of Trilateral Cooperation among the People s Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea Beijing, China, 10 October 2009 On the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Cooperation, we, the heads of Government/State of the People s Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea met in Beijing, Chinaon 10 October 2009. We reviewed the course of trilateral cooperation in the past and drew up plans for its future development. We reached the common understanding that since the launch of the trilateral cooperation in 1999, the common interests of the three countries have continuously grown, the mechanisms for dialogue have been further broadened and the cooperation in a wholerange of fields has been promoted, yielding highly fruitful results. The three countries have enhanced political mutual trust through the forging of a future-oriented comprehensive cooperative partnership. With the rapid increase in trilateral economic cooperation as well as trade and investment, the three countries have emerged as important trading partners to one another. Cultural and people-to-people exchanges were dynamic and close, which greatly enhanced the mutual understanding and friendship among the peoples. The three countries remained committed to the development of an East Asia community based on the principles of openness, transparency, inclusiveness as a long term goal, and to regional cooperation, while maintaining increased trilateral communication and coordination on regional and international affairs. We expressed the common recognition that the achievements over the past decade proved that to reinforce cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK serves the fundamental interests of the three countries and peoples, and moreover, contributes to regional peace, stability and prosperity.in this context, the three countries also recognized the significance of the Joint Statement for Tripartite Partnership issued at the first trilateral Summit in Fukuoka, Japan. 152
We believe that as the world undergoes major changes and adjustments, China-Japan-ROK cooperation will have many opportunities for development in the coming decade. We will view and approach the trilateral cooperative relationship from a strategic point of view, and will constantly aim to bring our cooperation to higher levels. We believe that mutual respect, equality, common interests, openness, transparency and respect for our diverse cultures constitute the foundation and guarantee for trilateral cooperation, and these principles should be followed in future trilateral cooperation. In the spirit of facing history squarely and advancing towards the future, the three countries will explore the potential and expand the areas of cooperation. We will push the trilateral relations forward in the direction of good-neighborliness, mutual trust, comprehensive cooperation, mutual benefit and common development. We are convinced that this will contribute to world peace, stability and prosperity. With this in mind, we have agreed to: 1. Build up mutual trust in the political field. We will step up high-level contactsand strategic dialogues, strengthen mutual understanding, expand common ground and build solid strategic mutual trust. We will regard one another as partners of win-win cooperation. We will support one another s peaceful development and regard it as an opportunity. We will respect one another s major concerns and core interests. We will properly address sensitive issues and seek settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation. We will strengthensecurity dialogue and facilitate exchange and cooperationamong the defense or military personnel of the three countries. 2. Deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. We will make full use of the high complementarities and great potential of the three economies and bring to higher levels our cooperation in key areas such as business, trade, finance, investment, logistics, intellectual property, customs, information, science and technology, energy conservation, environmental protection and circular economy. We will step up our efforts to develop green economy, improve the quality of economic development, oppose trade protectionism in all forms, uphold a fair, free and open Trilateral Summit Meeting the Republic of Korea, Japan, and the People's Republic of China 153
global trading and investment system. We are determined to seek an ambitious and balanced conclusion to the Doha Development Round in 2010, consistent with its mandate, based on the progress already made, including with regard to modalities. By making full use of existing fora, including ASEAN+3, EAS, APEC and G20, we will continuously inject fresh vitality into the recovery and stable development of the economy of Asia and the world. 3. Expand people-to-people exchanges. We will continue to conduct exchanges among all sectors of the three countries, particularly friendly youth exchanges and exchanges among universities. We will consider establishing a long-term mechanism for youth and media exchanges, encourage academic institutions and local authorities, and promote closer trilateral cooperation in areas such as disaster management, healthcare, tourism, human resources, education and sports. We will carry forward the spirit of peace and friendship and promote affinity among our three peoples while respecting each culture so as to enhance popular support for the stable, healthy and friendly development of the trilateral relations. 4. Promote peace, stability and prosperity of Asia. We will further strengthen cooperation so as to promote development of regional and sub-regional cooperation of various mechanisms such as ASEAN integration and community-building, ASEAN+3, East Asia Summit, ASEAN Regional Forum and APEC. We will remain committed to dialogue and consultation and continue to work through peaceful means to pursue the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We will make joint efforts with other parties for an early resumption of the Six-Party Talks, so as to safeguard peace and stability in Northeast Asia, and thereby to build an Asia of peace, harmony, openness and prosperity. 5. Actively respond to global issues. We will strengthen communication and consultation on regional and international affairs such as climate change, financial risks, energy security, public health, natural disasters, terrorism, arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation,and UN reform. We will actively participate in reforms in the international political, economic and financial fields and join the rest of the international community to work unremittingly for global peace, development and prosperity. 154
Looking ahead to the next decade, we are full of confidence and hope for the consolidation of the tripartite partnership and comprehensive cooperation. We firmly believe that in keeping with the calling of the times and with the development of our three countries, cooperation among China, Japan and the Republic of Korea will embrace an even brighter future, benefiting not only the three countries but also indeed the world.

Cooperation on Nuclear Safety We, the leaders of Japan, the People s Republic of China, and the Republic of Korea, discussed the recent tragic earthquake and tsunami and the nuclear accident which hit Japan. We now reaffirmed the utmost importance of strengthening nuclear safety and continue to safely operate nuclear facilities with the maximum level of transparency. Following the recent events in the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, we recognized that serious threats to nuclear safety could be triggered by devastating natural disasters. The Government of Japan is committed to sharing with China, ROK, and the international community at large the lessons learned from the nuclear accident, which will be conducive to enhancing safety of nuclear facilities around the world. While we recognizedthat nuclear energy remains an important option for many countries, ensuring nuclear safety is a prerequisite for the development of nuclear energy, and the principle of safety first should be upheld. The Government of Japan expressed its determination to resolve the situation at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant and confirmed that Japan would continue to provide information to the international community with maximum transparency. The governments of China and ROK support efforts of the Government of Japan to stabilize the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in a safe and secure manner, and to achieve final solution to this nuclear accident. We decided to promote discussions among our experts on the strengthening of safety of nuclear power generation against natural disasters. Their discussions will be made on safety regulations, emergency preparedness, emergency response measures and other safety related issues in the trilateral and bilateral frameworks such as the Top Regulators Meeting on Nuclear Safety, established in September 2008, among the three countries, and other fora. Therefore, the three countries will make full use of the Top Regulators Meeting as a practical and tangible framework of cooperation. 224
Information sharingand exchange regarding nuclear safety are vital for building and maintaining confidence in the safe operations of nuclear facilities. In this light, we decided to strengthen cooperation in information sharing. In addition, we also decided to start discussion on establishing early notification framework in case of emergency and exchanging experts, andto contemplate on exchange of information regarding the analysis and forecast of air flow trajectory on a real time basis in case of a nuclear accident. We shared the view that it is important to take necessary responses prudently on the safety of products based upon scientific evidence in case of a nuclear accident. We reaffirmed our support to the internationalcooperation on nuclear safety and the leading role of the IAEA in this regard. In this connection, we expressed our readiness to take an active part in the IAEA Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety to be held this June. In this regard, we also welcomed the relevant initiative of the Republic of Korea hosting the Nuclear Security Summit in 2012. We renewed the commitment to strengthening cooperation in the field of nuclear safety. Trilateral Summit Meeting the Republic of Korea, Japan, and the People's Republic of China 225
