Rising China and Korea-China Relations: What Next?

30 Jan 2008

 

To some, the rise of China may mean that Korea is compelled to pay keen attention to China's challenges and its likely course in view of possible influences on the peace and prosperity of the Korean peninsula. However no one will argue that China's economic growth has been the major engine driving the bilateral relations and the comprehensive cooperative partnerships forward. Thus far, the rise of China brings opportunities to Korea, but what next?

Mr Seok Tong-youn, the Consul-General of the Republic of Korea in HK, will share his insights on Korea-China ties in the lecture entitled "Rising China and Korea - China Relations: What Next?" against the background of Northeast Asian countries ushering in new leadership and forging new relations and partnerships.
