According to Reuters on November 14, South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-ah stated that Seoul should neither harbor unwarranted concerns about China’s rise nor underestimate China’s capabilities and potential, emphasizing the need to leverage complementary strengths between the two nations to expand mutually beneficial cooperation.
Cho had previously held talks and a dinner meeting with Chinese officials in Beijing, during which both sides discussed bilateral relations, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and ways to ensure tangible benefits for citizens of both countries through enhanced collaboration.
This engagement took place ahead of the upcoming informal APEC leaders’ meeting in Shenzhen, scheduled for November 18–19. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is set to attend the summit.
China stated that Sino-Korean relations have returned to a stable track, with both sides committed to expanding cooperation in traditional industries as well as emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence and biomedicine.
