（一）循环经济
China-Japan-ROK circular economy model base is a priority project for trilateral cooperation in the area of sustainable development. China put forward the proposal for building the model base at the Second Trilateral Summit Meeting in 2009, and the Joint Statement on Sustainable Development issued at the summit pledged to explore the possibility of building model bases and make joint efforts to promote resource-conserving and environment-friendly industrial structure, growth pattern and consumption mode. The National Development and Reform Commission of China, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Industry and Trade and the ROK Ministry of Environment have established communication channels at the working level, and decided to choose a location for the model base in China.
中日韩循环经济示范基地是三国可持续发展领域重点合作项目之一。建设示范基地是中国在2009年第二次中日韩领导人会议上提出的倡议，会议发表的《中日韩可持续发展联合声明》提出探讨建立示范基地，为促进形成资源节约型、环境友好型的产业结构、增长方式和消费模式而共同努力。中国国家发展和改革委员会、日本经济产业省、韩国环境部建立了工作层沟通渠道，商定将首先在中国选址建设。
