On September 5-6, 2025, the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) participated in the International Symposium on Combating Desertification and Promoting Greening, held in Ejin Banner, Inner Mongolia, China. The symposium was co-organized by the Alxa League Haraahot Ecological and Cultural Protection Association, Japanese OISCA International College, and the Ejin Banner Forestry and Grassland Bureau, supported by JICA China office. The event brought together experts and officials from China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan. TCS Deputy Secretary-General ZUSHI Shuji delivered opening remarks.
In his remarks, DSG ZUSHI emphasized that environmental cooperation, including the fight against desertification, has long been a driving force of the trilateral partnership. He highlighted the importance of the "Trilateral + X" cooperation model to address global challenges and affirmed that the symposium aligns with the commitment to sustainable development outlined in the 9th Trilateral Summit Joint Declaration.
The symposium featured two main sessions. The first session included an opening ceremony, a tree-planting activity, and a site inspection of the Suhe Afforestation Site. The second session focused on academic presentations by experts from the participating countries. Notable speakers included Dr. Xiao Jianhua from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Naoko Matsuo from Mie University, Professor Tatsuaki Kobayashi from Chiba University, and Professor Yowhan Son from Korea University, and Professor Berdiyar Jollibekov from Karakalpak Institute of Agriculture and Agrotechnology. As a part of the program, meeting participants made field trips to Juyanhai, to learn about the long-term efforts against desertification.
This symposium served as a valuable platform for sharing knowledge and successful case studies, fostering a stronger international network for environmental stewardship.
