Historical and territorial issues in East Asia have recently drawn as much attention from the international community as the emergence of this region. These historical and territorial issues undermine the possibilities of economic prosperity and cooperation in this region. Further, historical disagreements in East Asia continue to bring problems instead of being addressed. We must work to find ways to achieve historical reconciliation so that such issues do not hinder cooperation among countries in the East Asian region. Thus, in this session, we will attempt to find useful directions that may assist us in overcoming the historical conflicts in East Asia through historical reconciliation.
