On April 1, 2016, the Sejong Institute held a “Dokdo Public Diplomacy Conference,” inviting Professor Jae-jung Chung from University of Seoul and Professor Yang-hyun Cho from Korea National Diplomatic Academy. Our Japan experts including President Chang Soo Jin and senior research fellow Soung Chul Kim as well as Vice President Sang Hyun Lee of the Research Planning Division also participated in the discussion and talked about various issues surrounding the Sejong Institute’s public diplomacy efforts regarding Dokdo. The participants agreed that the Sejong Institute can take advantage of its strengths and position to partake in public diplomacy efforts on Dokdo, and that the appropriate approach should incorporate a medium- to long-term national strategy amid a broad framework of the Northeast Asian regional order.
