외신기자의 눈으로 본 동아시아 공존과 협력을 위한 한국의 역할 The Role of Korea in Coexistence and Cooperation in East Asia from Foreign Journalists’ Perspectives |
Yeongju B |
동아시아 지역에서는 전통적 안보인 북핵 문제, 영토분쟁뿐만 아니라 글로벌 공급망 위기, 감염병, 환경문제, 사이버 위협 등 더 복잡한 양상의 갈등이 지속되고 있다. 신안보로 불리는 이러한 사안들은 예측이 어렵고 초국경적인 특성 때문에 국제사회의 공조와 협력이 필수적이다. 한국은 선진국의 반열에 들어서면서 동아시아 지역에서의 공존과 협력을 위한 중재자의 역할을 요구받고 있으며, 이를 위해 보다 객관적이고 다양한 외부의 시선으로 한국 외교정책을 돌아볼 필요가 있다. 이번 세션에서는 그간 한국 외교에 대한 외신 보도 동향을 함께 살펴보고, 해외 유수 매체의 언론인을 초청하여 그들의 시각을 통한 향후 국제무대에서의 한국의 바람직한 역할과 필요한 주요 메시지 관리에 대해 논의하고자 한다. Foreign media coverage of Korea has been steadily increasing over the past 10 years. Through foreign media reports on efforts to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue, K-quarantine, and leadership in environmental issues, the international community began to pay attention to South Korea as an advanced country capable of leading the international order. Foreign media reports make Korea’s image in the international community, and their importance is growing day by day as they also affect the Korean people's perception of domestic issues. In East Asia, not only traditional security issues such as the North Korean nuclear issue and territorial disputes, but also more complicated issues such as the global supply chain crisis, infectious diseases, environmental issues, and cyberattacks persist. These issues, called emerging security, are hard to predict and require global cooperation and mutual assistance because of their transboundary nature. As Korea joins the ranks of developed countries, it is required to play a role as a mediator for coexistence and cooperation in East Asia. For this, it is necessary to look at Korean foreign policy from more objective and various points of view. In this session, we will take a look at the trends in international media coverage of Korean diplomacy together, and invite journalists from major foreign media outlets to discuss, from their perspectives, Korea's desirable role on the international stage and management of key messages needed in the future. |
