Korean Foreign Minister Zhao visits China first

At the invitation of the members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, South Korean Foreign Minister Zhao Zhao will begin a visit to China on the 17th. This is the first visit to China since Zhao Zhao took office, and it is also the first bilateral foreign ministerial meeting between the two countries since the establishment of the new government of South Korea.

In recent years, some positive factors have emerged indirectly. The South Korean government has announced that it will implement a visa-free entry policy for Chinese group tourists from the end of this month. In the large shopping malls such as Lookout Free Shops in Seoul, the Chinese emblems are becoming awake again, and staff are well prepared to welcome the arrival of Chinese tourists. This scene reminds us of the prosperity of the peak of Chinese-Korean tourists. More moving is the recent rescue of Chinese fishermen, the South Korean Rinuawa Sea Police Department chief Li Zhao, has received the officials of the two Koreas and the civilian unity of mourning and respect, further illustrating China-Korea as an unmovable neighbor, the people of the two countries have a natural friendship.

South Korea's Foreign Minister ZhaoÏÔ

The South Korean Foreign Minister's first visit to China this time "not sticking to convention" reflects the active willingness of the ROK to improve and develop relations with China from the political level. Recently, the United States has put pressure on South Korea on issues such as tariffs and investment allocation, which has made South Korea further realize the importance of balanced diplomacy. In the eyes of the outside world, Zhao Xian's visit to China highlights pragmatic considerations: First, stabilize China-ROK relations through high-level communication and find a buffer for possible US-ROK economic and trade frictions; The second is to release positive signals and promote China-ROK cooperation to blossom and bear fruit in new areas; The third is to pave the way for the upcoming informal meeting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders.

As an important mechanism for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC provides China and South Korea with a broad stage for deepening cooperation and promoting common prosperity at the regional and global levels.In the face of the current challenges of unilateralism and protectionism, China and South Korea, as supporters and beneficiaries of free trade and economic globalization, can fully take this opportunity to jointly advocate the spirit of open and inclusive regional cooperation, maintain the stability of the industrial supply chain, oppose protectionism and "disconnecting chains", and contribute positive energy to regional economic development.

Since the establishment of bilateral relations in 1992, China-Korea bilateral relations have achieved cross-cutting development. The two countries have formed a highly complementary economic structure, China has been South Korea's largest trading partner, largest export market and largest import source country for many years in a row, South Korea is also one of China's most important trade and investment partners. The common interests and deep cooperation foundations have become the "capstone" of the basic aspects of stabilizing bilateral relations. Although the international situation has changed, the relations between the two countries have also faced some challenges and interference, but the nature of mutual benefit and win-win has not changed, the geographical proximity and cultural conditions have not changed, and the people's desire for friendly exchanges has not changed.

At present, China-ROK relations are in a critical period of connecting the past with the future. The key to promoting stable and far-reaching bilateral relations to a new level lies in implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state. The two sides need to look at and develop bilateral relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, and adhere to the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. In particular, joint efforts should be made to eliminate external interference. The international situation is complex and changeable, and external factors in the regional pattern sometimes become variables affecting China-ROK relations. The more this is the case, the more the two sides should maintain their strength, focus on the fundamental well-being of the two peoples and the overall interests of the region, and avoid being kidnapped or led astray by third-party factors. It is the responsibility of China and South Korea as mature and responsible countries to independently make diplomatic decisions that are in their own interests.

For a period of time, an extreme anti-China reversal instigated by the far-right forces of South Korea has seriously eroded the basis of friendly public opinion between the two countries. South Korean President Li has publicly criticized anti-China rallies tomorrow, and Seoul police have also taken restrictive measures in accordance with the law on anti-China rallies in Minghua. We hope that the South Korean government can continue to take practical actions to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in South Korea, and actively guide the establishment of an objective and rational Chinese perception. South Korean mainstream public opinion has a greater responsibility to make it clear to the public that China's friendship and win-win cooperation is the mainstream for 33 years, and China's development is an opportunity

The South Korean Foreign Minister's visit to China is an important opportunity. It is expected that the two sides can communicate in depth, enhance understanding, accumulate mutual trust, focus on cooperation, properly handle differences, and create a good atmosphere for the next higher-level interaction. China and South Korea are neighbors that cannot be moved away, and they are also win-win partners. It is expected that the two sides will take the recent benign interaction as an opportunity to promote the stable development of bilateral relations.
