South Korean Government ASEAN Special Summit Meeting with 10 countries Starting from 25th November 25th 7:11
The South Korean government will hold a special summit meeting with 10 ASEAN countries from the 25th. As the domestic economy slows down, South Korea wants to strengthen its relationship with ASEAN, the second largest trade in China.
A special summit meeting between 10 countries of Korea and ASEAN = Southeast Asian countries will be held in Busan in the south of South Korea for 2 days from 25th.
The Moon Jae-in administration has launched a “New Southward Policy” that promotes economic partnerships with Southeast Asia and India. Wants to strengthen the relationship with ASEAN after China.
Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wa expressed his expectation at the press conference on the evening of the 24th that “This conference will be an important place for creating a new foundation for higher-level cooperation”.
Meanwhile, early this month, President Moon sent a letter to North Korea ’s chairman Kim Jong-un, the Korean Labor Party Chairman, to help expand international support for North-South efforts to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula. He requested to attend a special summit.
However, the North Korean side decided not to find a reasonable reason to visit, and the Mun administration's speculation, which wanted to get the chance to improve the North-South relations, was off.
