As Central and Eastern Europe prepares for a meeting with the People’s Republic of China on 9 February 2021, the eye-catching 17+1 format risks overlooking a more enduring alliance with mid-sized democracies in East Asia. The experience of rapid transformation in South Korea is relevant for Central Europe and year on year, Korean investment increases in the Visegrad region. South Korea is an example of how democratic security and economic prosperity can be obtained despite regional threats.
Visegrad Insight sat down for exclusive online chats with Professor Kim Joon-hyung, a top foreign policy advisor in South Korea who President Moon Jae-in appointed as the Chancellor of Korea National Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other country experts to discuss bilateral relations and strategic foresight.
Kim Joon-hyung is considered a co-author of Moon’s “New Southern Policy” strategy. I spoke extensively with him about the expansion of South Korea’s relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and India, the future of security and prosperity, relations with China and partnership with the United States. Here is what Visegrad Insight has learnt.
