This academic conference was organized to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Cairo Declaration, which first internationally guaranteed Korea's independence. Under the theme "Revisiting East Asia on the 80th Anniversary of the Cairo Declaration," it will analyze the global situation around 1943, when the Cairo Declaration was made, and the international perception of Korea's independence. It will also examine the impact of these circumstances on the postwar East Asian order, discuss the situation as viewed by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and Baekbeom Kim Gu, and consider the influence of the anti-trusteeship movement after liberation.

In particular, the conference will focus on the efforts of Baekbeom Kim Gu and the leaders of the Provisional Government to ensure that Korea's independence was included in the Cairo Declaration.

At the conference, Professor Park Tae-gyun of Seoul National University and Shih Ting (石定), former Taipei Representative to Korea, will deliver keynote speeches on the significance of the 80th anniversary of the Cairo Declaration, followed by presentations and discussions involving academic experts.

A representative of the Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall stated, "We hope that this academic conference will expand the scholarly foundation regarding the significance of the Cairo Declaration and its impact on Korea's independence."
