印度与韩国外交关系发展态势与评估——地缘战略背景下的中等国家理论视角

The New Development of Relations between India and South Korea

印度的"东进"战略,就是以外交、地缘政治领域互动为重点,在重新确立独立外交政策框架的努力中,积极寻求新的目标,发展经贸与投资合作,促进其与东北亚、东南亚等地区国家的合作过程。韩国作为亚太地区的"中等强国",在东北亚地区扮演着重要角色,加之近年来韩国已成为印度重要的亚洲投资国,因此对韩国外交成为印度大周边外交的重要组成部分。随着印度经济的迅速增长,以及韩国"新南向政策"的提出,印度则被韩国视为除美、中、日等国外最重要的战略合作伙伴。印韩两国采取的外交措施将成功使两国的利益交织在一起。然而,由于地缘原因,两国在政治上的合作不可能形成针对中国的局面,这在韩国一方表现得尤为明显。印韩两国的战略伙伴关系以服务于经济利益为主导因素。

for the"Go East"strategy of India,it is focused on the interaction of diplomatic and geopolitical fields,and in the efforts to reestablish the framework of independent foreign policy,actively seek new goals,develop economic and trade and investment cooperation,and promote cooperation between India and other countries in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.As a"middle power"in the Asia Pacific region,South Korea plays an important role in Northeast Asia.In addition,South Korea has become an important Asian investor in India in recent years.Therefore,South Korea's diplomacy has become an important part of India's great peripheral diplomacy.On the other hand,with the rapid growth of India's economy and the proposal of South Korea's"New South policy",India is regarded by South Korea as the most important strategic partner other than the United States,China and Japan.The diplomatic measures taken by the two countries will succeed in inter twined the interests of the two countries.However,due to geographical reasons,the political cooperation between the two countries is unlikely to form a situation with China,which is particularly evident on the side of the Korean side.The strategic partnership between India and South Korea is a leading factor in serving economic interests.
