According to a diplomat on the 27th, the diplomatic authorities of Korea and China are known to be adjusting the specific schedule and format for Wang’s visit to Korea in October. A diplomatic source said: “The timing of (Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s) visit to Korea has not been confirmed.” However, in response to this, the Foreign Ministry officially said: “There is currently nothing established.”
When Wang Yi’s visit to Korea is finally confirmed, it has been about 10 months since last December. Director Wang Yi visited Korea in December last year, after 4 years and 8 months, after the Park Geun-hye administration failed to visit Korea due to the deployment of the THAAD (high altitude missile defense system) in the time of Park Geun-hye’s administration. Warned.
Diplomats are drawing attention because Wang Yi’s visit to Korea came immediately after Minister Pompeo visited Korea. Next month, Secretary Pompeo will be able to ask South Korea to participate in the collective security system ‘Quad’ promoted by the Donald Trump administration, and the ‘anti-Chinese economic blockade’ that is constantly being lifted in Joya in the United States even in the situation of the spread of the new coronavirus (Corona 19). The Economic Prosperity Network (EPN) is also facing tough problems for the Chinese government. Marshall Billingsley, envoy for the U.S. Department of State’s chairman of arms control, who had an interview with multilateral diplomatic coordinator Ham Sang-wook on the 28th is also charged with a plan to deploy a “ missile of mid-range ” that will likely be brought to the table for discussion.
Accordingly, Wang Yi is expected to focus on reaffirming the cooperation between Korea and China. Earlier, during his visit to Korea in Busan in August, Yang Jietsu, a member of the head of the Chinese Communist Party’s diplomatic affairs office, Yang Jietsu, arranged an early visit to Korea by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Discussed. Foreign Minister Wang Yi also has a high chance of continuing discussions on the timing of President Xi’s visit to Korea, which he cannot determine a specific time due to Corona 19, and the Korea-China-Japan summit. in November.
It is analyzed that the issue surrounding the conflict between the United States and China could be a burden for the Korean government in some way. During his visit to Korea in August, the Blue House explained China’s position on the conflict between the United States and China, and Mr. Seo announced that he emphasized the importance of friendly cooperation between the United States and China. Since there is a high possibility that Wang Yi’s visit to Korea will take place immediately after Minister Pompeo’s visit to Korea, it is inevitably a test of balanced diplomacy.
