Jeju Peace Forum

The Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity started in 2001 and organized by the Jeju Development Institute. The Forum is an international comprehensive forum in East Asia in which the official aims are to build common peace and prosperity and addressing stability and security issues within the region through international cooperation. The Jeju Peace Forum started as a biennial meeting but it was reorganized as an annual event in May 2011. Its permanent secretariat is located in the Jeju Peace Institute.

The Jeju Forum is a regional multilateral dialogue for promoting peace and prosperity in Asia. The Forum serves as a platform for discussing and sharing future visions on sustainable peace and prosperity in Asia. Hosted by the Government of Jeju Special Self-governing Province with the full support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, the Forum was launched in 2001 as Jeju Peace Forum. The Forum had been held biennially before 2009 and when it became an annual event in 2011, the Forum was renamed as the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity. Its Secretariat is headquartered in Jeju, South Korea. The Jeju Forum is held in May each year, in Jeju with more than 60 sessions, including plenary sessions and various networking opportunities, thereby providing a great deal of insights to the world. As its title suggests, the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity has always been driven by a central mission to build peace in East Asia by facilitating a multilateral dialogue on peace, diplomacy and security among related stakeholders. Though its core vision remains unchanged, the forum has been expanding its scope and boundaries to devote attention to not just international relations, but also a wide range of subjects from other fields.

The first forum was held from June 15 to June 17, 2001 under the title, "Building Common Peace and Prosperity in Northeast Asia." Its objective is to address the region's prospects for peace, stability, and prosperity in the 21st century.

The second forum was held from October 30 to November 1, 2003 under the title, "Building a Northeast Asian Community: Challenges and New visions." It was launched as a meeting for the public and private sector leaders to promote common peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia. With the inauguration of Roh Moo-hyun the Second Jeju Forum discussed geopolitical and economic developments within the region and its implications for bureaucratic, economic, and policy environments.
