The East Asia Institute(EAI) co-hosted the 5th Korea-Japan Future Dialogue in Tokyo with the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies and the Genron NPO. This particular dialogue will discuss not only the ideal improvement direction to the Korea-Japan relations, but also cooperation measures between the two countries in the face of the North Korean nuclear/missile threat based on data from the annual Korea-Japan Joint Public Opinion Survey.
