[Floating Clouds] On the morning of October 30, the China delegation arrived in South Korea as scheduled and received "top courtesy" from South Korea. South Korean high-level officials picked up the plane and laid the red carpet to the end
On the morning of October 30th, local time, the Chinese delegation landed at Incheon International Airport in South Korea on time, and the reception battle on the spot directly set a new record for the South Korean side in recent years-this is not an ordinary visit, and it is clear that the "highest standard" is engraved into every detail. It can be seen that the South Korean side really puts this interaction at the top of its heart.
Let's first investigate the real situation at the scene. This detail is much more lively than what is rumored online. South Korea directly sent a "top welcome group" headed by the Prime Minister. The Foreign Minister, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Resources, and the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism all came. Even the mayor of Seoul specially rushed to the airport. This kind of multi-department leaders and all members of the team were dispatched has hardly been seen in South Korea's receptions to foreign delegations in recent years.
The red carpet of the airport exports spread all the way to the edge of the parking lot, on both sides are full of welcoming crowds, both Korean people wearing traditional clothes, carrying the badge of "China-Korea-friendly", there are representatives of Chinese-Korean joint ventures, Chinese students and Chinese expatriate groups in Korea, applause and cheers can feel the warmth across the screen.
What is even more surprising is that the South Korean side also specially arranged for traditional musical instruments to be played. The melodies of the kaya and long drums were matched with Chinese welcome words, and the details were full of heart.
This wave of high-standard receptions is not a temporary initiative. It hides the foundation for the interaction between China and South Korea in recent years. Friends who understand China-South Korea relations all know that as each other's most important trading partners, the trade volume between the two countries last year was slightly adjusted due to global economic fluctuations, but it still remained above US$300 billion. China has been South Korea's largest trading partner for 19 consecutive years. South Korea is also one of China's top three trading partners.
The core topics of the China delegation's visit to South Korea include deepening cooperation in new energy vehicles and semiconductor industry chains, as well as restoring China-South Korea routes and simplifying visa procedures and other aspects related to people's livelihood. After all, after the epidemic, personnel exchanges between the two countries are still gradually recovering. Last year, the number of personnel exchanges between China and South Korea just recovered to 60% of 2019. Whether it is tourism or business travel, more convenient policy support is needed.
The reason why the ROK attaches so much importance to it is, to put it bluntly, that it sees the actual needs clearly. At a time when the global economic recovery is weak, South Korea's export data has been under pressure, and the Chinese market is a "stabilizer" for South Korea's semiconductor, cosmetics, automobile and other industries.
Especially in the new energy field, China's power battery technology and South Korea's electric vehicle manufacturing capacity are highly complementary, the two sides have already reached cooperation with several companies, this visit is likely to determine more large orders.
In addition, the changes in the situation in the Northeast Asian region also made important for China and South Korea to maintain close communication, and the two countries have common interests inining regional peace and stability, which is also a key reason for the personal reception of the highest level of the Korean side.
Maybe friends will ask, before China-Korea relations have also been fluctuating, why this time can there be such a high specific interaction? in fact, looking at the trend of the past year is very clear —— from the second half of last year, China-Korea hasined communication through video conferences, multilateral meetings and so on, the Korean side has repeatedly expressed the desire to deepen cooperation, and China has always adhered to a mutually beneficial and win-win attitude.
Before this visit, the ROK also set up a reception group composed of more than 10 departments, and started preparations three months in advance. Everything from the dietary preference of the delegation to the arrangement of the topics of the talks was carefully planned. This preparatory strength is enough to show the sincerity of the ROK.
There is also a warm detail on the scene, the Korean side welcomes a lot of middle and middle school students in the crowd, who carry the sign "Welcome to Chinese friends" written in Chinese, and others have prepared an illustration of the Chinese flag painted by themselves.
This is behind the recovery of civil exchanges between China and Korea, the China-Korea youth exchange program interrupted during the epidemic, and the preparation of the joint application for cultural heritage, are using the opportunity of this visit to re-promote.
This wave of "matching courtesy" interaction between China and South Korea has never been unilateral enthusiasm, but a rational choice based on common interests. It is also a clear signal that the relationship between the two countries has returned to the track of pragmatic cooperation.
In the complex and changing international situation, the two neighbouring great countries have laid down differences and focused on cooperation, which can not only benefit the two countries' enterprises and people, but also bring more stability and development opportunities to the Northeast Asian region.This wave of operation reflects both the pragmatic vision of South Korea, but also demonstrates China's sincerity in promoting surrounding diplomacy, and can be a model for Great Britain.
In the future, with the deepening of cooperation between China and South Korea in the fields of economy, trade, culture and personnel exchanges, I believe there will be more good news. The relationship between countries has always been "you respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot". This high-standard reception is the best proof-mutual benefit and win-win is the eternal theme, and sincere communication can go further.
