In particular, she highlighted the CJK Spirit Word of the Year 2023 “和合(Hehe)”, which was chosen by the people of the three countries. She pointed out that the public’s choice of the word “和合” represents the expectation of the people of the three countries that trilateral cooperation would contribute to common prosperity and harmony in East Asia.
