On December 16, 2023, the University of Tokyo hosted the 12th Japan-Korea Dialogue. Security experts from Japan and South Korea attended the workshop to share their analyses and exchange their views on security in East Asia. Professor Akio Takahara from the University of Tokyo, and Professor Hunjoon Kim from Korea University, opened the afternoon event by inviting all participants to engage in a frank and constructive discussion. Their opening remarks were followed by two sessions on the regional responses to China’s economic security and foreign strategy in the context of U.S.-China strategic competition. Like the 2022 event, this year’s dialogue was supported by grants from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs for Japan and the Republic of Korea (Korea).
