This paper assesses that the main issues to be addressed are：（i） researches on the structure, function and differentiation disciplines of the vast and complex regional resources-environment-socio-economic system that is Northeast Asia and on how the region can respond and evolve. （ii） Failing to find a mode for sustainable development is one of the most serious restrictive factors to development in Northeast Asia. （iii） Development of cross-border regional socio-economic models for sustainable development is essential.
