试析韩国对太平洋岛国外交

Republic of Korea＇s Diplomacy toward the Pacific Island Countries

冷战结束后,随着综合国力的提升,韩国外交逐渐突破东北亚区域,日趋多元化。近年来,韩国外交拓展至相对偏远的太平洋岛国一带。历史上,韩国劳工曾被日本殖民者强征至太平洋岛屿。目前,韩国对太平洋岛国的外交多管齐下。通过多边外交、援助外交、环境外交、文化外交等多种途径,韩国日渐成为南太平洋区域的一支域外新兴力量。韩国与太平洋岛国在政治、经济、安全、文化等领域的合作关系稳步发展。但双方合作的水平与模式仍亟待改善,合作的内容和层次也有待扩大和提高。

Republic of Korea＇s Diplomacy has reached beyond the Northeast Asia and shown the tendency of diversification with a further increase of its synthesizing national power since the end of the Cold War. ROK has expanded its diplomatic targets to the Pacific Island Countries in recent years. In history,Korean Labors were forced to enter the Pacific Island Countries. And ROK has been playing an influential role in the South Pacific as an emerging power located outside this region, by means of ODA and multi-lateral, environmental and cultural diplomacy. ROK-PICs＇ friendly relations and cooperation have developed steadily in politics, culture, economy and security. However, the standard and model of their cooperation need to be improved,and the contents and levels of their cooperation have yet to be fully improved or broadened.
