With the support of the Korea Foundation, EAI and Japan's Asia Pacific Initiative (API) hosted a conference titled "ROK-Japan Cooperation 2050: Overcoming Shared Challenges Together" on January 17, 2025. As the first Track 2 conference commemorating the 60th anniversary of ROK-Japan diplomatic normalization, the event brought together 13 experts from Korea and Japan specializing in security, economy, advanced technology, environment, and demographics. The discussions focused on identifying common challenges the two nations are likely to face by 2050.

Acknowledging that today's youth will shape society by that time, the experts proposed forward-looking solutions addressing critical issues such as nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, climate change, population decline, and the disappearance of municipalities. These efforts aim to ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for the next generation. The contents of the conference will be made available as videos (Korean) on the EAI website and YouTube channel.
