Toda Peace Institute Fourth South Korea-Japan Workshop
“Visioning the Future of South Korea-Japan Relations”
15-16 November 2024
Tokyo, Japan
The Toda Peace Institute will organise its fourth workshop on “Visioning the Future of South Korea-Japan Relations,” bringing together key opinion leaders—policy makers, academics and journalists—from Japan and South Korea. The aim of the workshop is to engage these experts in a candid and interactive dialogue to understand the root causes of the ongoing disputes between the two countries and to explore ways to deepen trust, confidence and collaboration as we approach the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties next year. The workshop will be held in Tokyo from 15-16 November 2024, at Toda Peace Institute’s conference room.
Relations between South Korea-Japan have appeared to thaw in recent years, especially with South Korea’s new plan to resolve disputes over historical injustices and compensate for forced labor during the colonial era. However, are the citizens in both countries satisfied with the current developments? Together with academics and key media representatives from both nations, this workshop will focus on necessary efforts to rebuild trust between the peoples of South Korea and Japan, ensuring that mistrust will not become an obstacle to future bilateral cooperation.
