The development process of cooperation between China, Japan, and South Korea shows that trilateral cooperation has a solid foundation, strong demand, huge potential, and broad prospects.

We must adhere to promoting common development, continue to adhere to the principles of voluntariness, equality, openness, win-win, transparency, and sustainability, and create more "China Japan South Korea+X" cooperation projects with neighboring countries and regions in need, to promote common and sustainable development both inside and outside the region. Park Zhen and Yoko Uesugawa positively evaluated the progress made in cooperation between China, Japan, and South Korea, believing that the three countries are inseparable neighbors and that cooperation between the three countries is of great significance and enormous potential.
