The China-ROK Future Forum was first launched in 1994 as an exchange program in the framework of China-ROK People-to-People Exchanges. It is a bilateral platform of great importance for regular meetings, trust building, exchanges and discussions among think tanks of the two countries in politics, economy and trade, culture and academics. The Forum plays a positive role in promoting friendly cooperation between the two sides.
