On August 18, 2025, the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) delegation, headed by Deputy Secretary-General ZUSHI Shuji, attended the TEMM26 Director General Meeting in Yantai, China. Building on the Pre-TEMM Meeting held in June, Director-General-level officials from China, Japan, and the ROK gathered to review detailed arrangements and discuss the expected outcomes for the upcoming Ministers’ Meeting.
DSG ZUSHI delivered opening and closing remarks, highlighting that environmental cooperation was reaffirmed as a priority at the 9th Trilateral Summit, where “sustainable development, including climate change response” was identified as one of six key areas for cooperation. He emphasized TEMM’s role as a core mechanism for trilateral collaboration and shared updates on TCS initiatives, including the 4th Forum on Carbon Neutrality Goals of China, Japan, and the ROK, the side event on sand and dust storms at the 81st Session of ESCAP, and the successful conclusion of the 4th Trilateral Environmental Teachers’ Exchange Program (TTEP), which promotes cooperation on circular economy education. In his closing remarks, DSG ZUSHI expressed appreciation for the three countries’ strong commitment to a sustainable future and their continued support for TCS.
Prior to the DG Meeting, a working-level meeting was held on August 17, where ministry officials actively exchanged views on TEMM26 preparations, reviewed progress on past initiatives, and discussed the newly adopted Tripartite Joint Action Plan on Environmental Cooperation (TJAP) 2026-2030.
The 26th Tripartite Environment Ministers’ Meeting is scheduled to take place in Yantai, China, on September 27–28, 2025.
