and tell us more about what we can expect from the three-day event and how
it will help to promote president Jane's new southern policy professor kim
donghyuk from Busan University of Foreign Studies joins me here in the
studio today thanks for coming in it's great to be here
all right so considering that this is the biggest international conference
that's been hosted under the moon jaein administration obviously there are many
eyes on what would come out of these special summits here in Busan so what
can we expect in this regards I think that ever since our government announced
the new foreign policy in 2017 I think until now we have tried to establish the
visions and I think it's a preparation period but from this moment I think this
venue should be more concrete measures we should produce out of this special
talk and in addition I guess one of the problem of our foreign policy toward the
ASEAN was not very much sustainable so I think in order to make our new foreign
policy more sustainable I think it should be institutionalized
the relationship between Korea and ASEAN countries well what about North Korea I
mean we know that North Korea has diplomatic relations with all of the 10
ASEAN nations and obviously president moon jae-in has invited North Korean
leader Kim jong-un to attend the summit but North Korea declined is saying that
sort of hopefully understands the decision so but obviously the
discussions on the ongoing peace process are going to take place here during the
Ostend summit so what can we expect in this regard regarding North Korea I
think we have tried so many things before I active six-party talks and
North Korea and us talk but I think mostly those kind of effort was not
successful but we should move toward another measures to deal with this
Korean pencil problems I guess the assign is a very good role to engage in
these inter-korean problems because asan is very strong in multilateral
relationships so we should ask ASEAN countries to make the constructive
involvement in Korean matters well their expectations are also rising over the
first week on Korea summit that's going to take place on Wednesday here in Busan
so obviously this is going to be an opportunity for South Korea to evaluate
its 10 years of macomb career relations so tell us more about this summit well I
think this is very meaningful because the relation internationally
relationship should be reciprocal and mutually beneficial I think our country
have a lot of trade surplus from Assent countries and we have to respond their
needs and the Meccan countries I think the ASEAN countries biggest
problem of the development year in order to make the community as an communities
and our countries can contribute to solve their problems
most of the Mekong countries we call the clm we those countries more mostly less
developed countries so we can share our development experience to those
countries so I think that will be a huge contribution for our country to ascend
now overall we know that president McCain is meeting with the leaders of
all of the ASEAN nations leaders that are attending the summit in Busan what
can expect from those bilateral meetings well by
meeting is very important because the ASEAN is even though it's a community
and so on organizations but it's loosely organized
unity so we have to make one buy into I mean bilateral
relations with each country's I guess this summit we expect to make the FTA
with Malaysia and Philippines I think every individual countries we have to
approach individually in order to make the relationship concrete that's so for
a good outcome from this summit thank you so much for coming today you so much
