Economic cooperation between Korea and China has seen rapid development since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992. Building on this development, these two countries significantly influence each other today in the aspects of trade, investment, industry cooperation, and exchange of human resources. Korea needs to extend its diplomatic leverage toward China, a key partner for future growth, by strengthening economic cooperation especially considering the importance of China’s role in various fields including security of the Korean peninsula.

The relationship between these two countries is expected to be further developed under the new leadership of Park Geun-hye and Xi Jinping, based on strong will to solidify the ‘mutual strategic cooperative relationship’. Discussions on major economic issues amid the changed environment will have historical meaning for the next 20 years. Beyond the two countries of Korea and China, the discussion as a driving force will also contribute to the development of the East Asian region as a whole.

한·중 간 경제협력은 1992년 양국이 수교를 맺은 이래 비약적인 발전을 이루었습니다. 교역, 투자, 산업협력 및 인적 교류 등의 측면에서 양국은 서로의 산업에 중대한 영향력을 미치고 있습니다. 특히 중국은 한반도 안보를 포함한 다양한 분야에서도 중요한 행위자임을 고려할 때, 경제 협력을 강화함으로써 미래 성장의 중요한 파트너인 중국에 대한 외교 레버리지를 심화시키는 것이 필요합니다. 이러한 한·중간 경제협력은 새롭게 들어선 박근혜 및 시진핑 체제하에서‘전략적 협력동반자’ 관계를 공고히 하기 위한 의지를 바탕으로 더욱 발전할 것으로 보입니다. 변화한 환경 속에서 오늘날 양국의 주요 경제 현안에 대한 논의는 앞으로의 새로운 20년을 준비하는 데 있어서 시대적인 의미를 가질 것입니다. 이는 또한 한·중 양국에서 나아가, 동아시아 전체를 위한 공동체 발전의 원동력이 될 것으로 기대됩니다.
