On September 22, Deputy Secretary-General YAN Liang warmly welcomed a delegation from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS). The delegation was led by Mr. Jeremie Mbairamadji, Coordinator of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme at the FAO headquarters in Rome, and included Mr. Tang Shengyao, FAO Representative at the FAO Partnership and Liaison Office in Seoul. 

Mr. Mbairamadji provided an overview of the GIAHS initiative, describing it as a living heritage system sustained by communities that have cultivated a deep and enduring relationship with their environment. He further explained FAO’s ongoing efforts to enhance cooperation, evaluation, and monitoring systems within the program. 

Mr. Tang highlighted the successful convening of the 9th Conference of the East Asia Research Association for Agricultural Heritage Systems (ERAHS) in Jeju, which gathered more than 300 participants. He reaffirmed the readiness of the FAO Seoul office to deepen collaboration with TCS and underscored that the recent Trilateral Agricultural Ministers’ Meeting (TAMM) identified six priority areas for cooperation, among which GIAHS was prominently included. 

DSG Yan introduced the Trilateral Young Rural Leaders’ Exchange Program (TREP) as one of TCS’s flagship initiatives and expressed TCS’s commitment to further advancing “Trilateral+X” cooperation. He emphasized the rich agricultural heritage shared by China, Japan, and Korea, noting TCS’s dedication to promoting knowledge exchange and practical cooperation to bring tangible benefits to the people of the region.
