He said that Korea and China have close exchanges and ties in the past several thousand years. Particularly since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the ROK and China in 1992, cooperation between the two countries in political, economic and cultural fields have become mature. In particular, exchanges and cooperation in the economic field have developed at a surprising rate. Cooperation and mutual assistance between the ROK and China will further expand and develop. He expressed the hope that China would continue to play a constructive role in supporting the peaceful coexistence between the North and South.
Close neighbors are better than far-away relatives.
As true partners, the ROK and China will help each other and play a more active constructive role in international and regional affairs.
