질의응답 및 라포터: 전영선 (중앙일보 국제부 기자)

This session will forecast economic and political tasks facing President Park Geun-hye’s newly launched
administration and provide solutions via the views of foreign correspondents in Korea. Foreign correspondents in Korea are important due to their ability to observe, analyze and predict social issues in Korea with diverse, objective, and outside perspectives, in ways which the Korean domestic correspondents cannot.

Additionally, news articles from participants provide important insights that can provide most realistic
and first-hand data which can help the administration make more informed diplomatic policy. Hence, the Session’s discussion contents can be a reliable source which can forecast foreign response in advance about possible emerging issues or problems that could emerge in the Park administration.

Again, the viewpoints and reactions of foreign correspondents can help the administration predict the reactions and responses of foreign countries regarding such issues and problems.

해외 언론이 보는 박근혜 정부의 과제’라는 주제로 박근혜 정부 출범에 따라 한국이 맞고 있는 정치 경제적 문제와 이에 대한 해결방안을 해외 언론인들의 눈을 통해 조망하는 자리입니다. 한국사회의 변화를 가장 가까운 거리에서 체감하고, 분석하고, 전망할 수 있는 주한 외국 특파원들은 국내 언론이 보지 못하는 여러 가지 사안을 다양하고도 새로운 각도에서 분석하고 그 해결책을 제시할 것으로 기대됩니다.

또한 이들이 송고하는 기사는 자국의 외교적 정책결정에 가장 현실적이고도 일차적인 자료가 될 수 있습니다. 이에 따라 본 세션의 토론 내용은 박근혜 정부 출범 후 대두될 수 있는 현안이나 문제들에 대한 외국의 반응이나 대응책을 미리 예측할 수 있는 자료 및 기회가 될 것으로 기대되고 있습니다.
