Jeju Forum 2019 Slated for May 29-31

The 14th Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity will be held at the International Convention Center
Jeju for three days from May 29-31, 2019. The Jeju Forum Secretariat confirmed the schedule for
next year and announced it to related organizations at home and abroad.

The Secretariat will start discussions on the main theme for the 14th forum by hosting the second
meeting of the Global Advisory Committee on Oct. 19 in Beijing, China. The Committee held its
inaugural meeting during the 13th Jeju Forum in June to discuss the forum’s vision.

Based on the discussions at the second meeting of the Committee, the Secretariat will select the
main theme of the 14th forum at the first meeting of the agenda council in early November.

The Committee was established to raise the international profile of the forum by providing a timely
platform to exchange views on global issues. Joined by diplomatic and security experts from eight
countries, including Korea, the U.S., Japan and China, the Committee meets twice a year to discuss
the path of the Jeju Forum.

Chaired by Kim Sung-hwan, a distinguished professor at Hanyang University and former minister
of foreign affairs and trade, the Committee is comprised of 12 distinguished experts in diplomacy
and security affairs. They are Moon Chung-in, special advisor to the President for unification and
national security; Chang Daljoong, professor emeritus at Seoul National University; Gi-Wook Shin,
director of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, Stanford University; John G.
Ikenberry, Albert G. Milbank professor at Princeton University; Yan Xuetong, dean of the Institute
of International Relations at Tsinghua University; Masao Okonogi, professor emeritus, Keio
University; Yoriko Kawaguchi, former Japanese minister of foreign affairs; Gareth Evens, former
Australian minister of foreign affairs; Marty Natalegawa, former Indonesian minister of foreign
affairs; Shivshankar Menon, former Indian national security adviser; and Bilahari Kausikan, former
permanent secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore.
