Motivation and Objectives:
Having been hit early by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, China, Japan, and South Korea (CJK) appear
to recover early. Still, no one knows exactly when the post-COVID -19 phase will begin. For the earlyadvent of the post-COVID era, CJK should work together to achieve regional economic reconstructionand eventual global recovery as well as to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. CJK must not fall
into inward-looking self-reliance but search for coordinated actions for economic revival. CJK haveaccumulated rich database dealing with COVID-19 infections and therapeutics. Timely data andinformation sharing are crucial to developing public goods vaccines, cross-border health measures, andpost-COVID recovery strategy. CJK as immediate neighbors should work out how to revive impaired
supply chains and near halted tourism in the short run and liberal trade and investment architecture in
the medium and long term, seeking for the sustainable and risk-resilient economic growth in the postpandemic era. CJK should create intraregional reciprocal demand by allowing business travel and selecttourism to help boost growth and bring back laid-off employees under newly agreed CJK protocols.
Further, the current health crisis should be turned into renewed momentum in the post-COVID era forregional free trade and environmental cooperation to climate change and green industries in a looming
digital un-tact society. Amid the Pandemic crisis and accompanied economic meltdown, CJK have also
experiencing rapidly aging population, which requires special socio-economic safety measures. Aftercompleting two rounds of CJK dialogue, it is highly significant for the first year meeting of third CJK
dialogue round to address these unprecedented challenging issues.
