The 14th Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity will be held at the International Convention Center 

Jeju for three days from May 29-31, 2019. The Jeju Forum Secretariat confirmed the schedule for 

next year and announced it to related organizations at home and abroad.

The Secretariat will start discussions on the main theme for the 14th forum by hosting the second 

meeting of the Global Advisory Committee on Oct. 19 in Beijing, China. The Committee held its 

inaugural meeting during the 13th Jeju Forum in June to discuss the forum’s vision. 

Based on the discussions at the second meeting of the Committee, the Secretariat will select the 

main theme of the 14th forum at the first meeting of the agenda council in early November.

platform to exchange views on global issues. Joined by diplomatic and security experts from eight 

countries, including Korea, the U.S., Japan and China, the Committee meets twice a year to discuss 

the path of the Jeju Forum.
