Participants shared views that facing various complex and serious global challenges, all countries should adhere to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, support the UN in playing a greater role in international affairs, and promote the reform and improvement of the global governance system. The timetable for the 2030 Agenda is more than halfway, but the implementation is far behind. All countries should make efforts to achieve SDGs as scheduled. All kinds of civilizations ought to co-exist in harmony, and all countries should develop the best of civilizations and discard the dross.
 
After the trilateral meeting, UNA-China, UNA-Japan and UNA-ROK held bilateral meetings respectively.
 
The Trilateral Presidents’ Meeting of UNA-China, UNA-Japan and UNA-ROK was launched in 2010 and has been held in the three countries annually in rotation. The meeting has become an important mechanism for the three UNAs to exchange views on UN issues. Next year, the event will be hosted by UNA-ROK.
