The 12th FANEA International Symposium was held in Saitama, Japan on October 12, 2017. In the event, relevant experts from Korea, China, and Japan presented and discussed six papers on the theme of “Revitalization of Rural Areas.” Six people including President Kim Changgil attended the symposium as a moderator, speakers, and discussants from the Korea Rural Economic Institute; six people including Deputy Director Wang Jimin from the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences; and seven people including Director General Sato Hayami from the Policy Research Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Particularly, the three institutes published a report on the three countries’ discussion results about the revitalization of rural areas through this symposium. In this event, Korea, China, and Japan examined structural changes in agriculture and agricultural communities and farmers’ problems through joint research, and sought each nation’s solutions considering each country’s policy environment. Also, the three nations shared experiences to revitalize rural areas analyzing each country’s case of agricultural marketing, and derived relevant implications and policy tasks. Before holding the symposium, the heads of the three institutes, who highly evaluated the performance of the joint research, discussed the three countries’ joint study for next year’s symposium, plans for research cooperation and the expansion of human exchanges among the institutes, and the theme of the 13th FANEA International Symposium. As a result of the discussion, a tentative agreement was reached that the 13th FANEA Symposium’s major theme would be “Improving Labor Force and Rural Welfare for Enhancing Competitiveness.” Korea will host the FANEA Symposium next year, and the three institutions decided to discuss the schedule and venue later. It is expected that the 12th FANEA International Symposium will lead to the three institutes’ active joint and comparative research on themes of common interest that can enhance mutual understanding, expand human exchanges, strengthen global capacities, and promote collaboration among the institutes.
