Recently, the diplomatic situation in South-East and North-East Asia has shown a polarized trend. Southeast Asia has hosted a number of important meetings, such as the G20 summit and the APEC summit, and diplomatic activities are frequent, while the diplomatic performance of Northeast Asia is relatively lackluster. In Northeast Asia, China, Japan, and South Korea are three important countries, and high-level exchanges are very limited. Even when there are opportunities to meet, most of them are limited to brief meetings during important international conferences. For example, at the APEC summit held in San Francisco not long ago, the heads of state of China and South Korea held a dialogue that lasted only three minutes. Although the dialogue was short and in-depth, it had a positive effect. Soon after, the ROK announced that China, Japan, and South Korea would send their foreign ministers to Busan to attend the 10th Foreign Ministers' Meeting. At that time, the three sides will exchange views on issues such as leaders' talks, the direction of cooperation, and the international situation.
In recent years, Southeast Asia has achieved remarkable diplomatic results and actively hosted various important conferences, demonstrating its importance in international affairs. In stark contrast, Northeast Asia has relatively little diplomatic activity and a lack of activity. This difference is mainly due to the different economic development and foreign policy orientations of the two regions.
First of all, Southeast Asia has developed rapidly and has become an important engine of global economic growth. Countries have made remarkable achievements in economic construction and have attracted a large number of opportunities for international investment and cooperation. As a result, Southeast Asian countries are gradually becoming more active in diplomacy and are engaged in extensive exchanges and cooperation with other countries through various summits and conferences. This will not only help promote economic prosperity in the region, but will also help promote international peace and stability.
Second, Southeast Asia has become more open and active in its foreign policy orientation. Take the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) as an example, which was actively initiated and promoted by Southeast Asian countries to promote economic integration and liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region. This kind of open diplomatic attitude has enabled Southeast Asian countries to accept the recognition and recognition of the international community, and have won the right to host more important conferences. In contrast, due to the influence of historical problems and geopolitical factors, Northeast Asia has led to some contradictions and estrangements between some countries, and diplomatic exchanges are relatively rare.
In short, the difference between the diplomatic situation in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia is mainly reflected in regional economic development and foreign policy orientation. Southeast Asia, with its booming economy and active diplomatic posture, has become a popular location for various international conferences, while Northeast Asia has relatively few such meetings and diplomatic activity is relatively uneventful.
As the three most important countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea have relatively few high-level exchanges and communication channels. Recently, however, the brief dialogue between the Chinese and South Korean heads of state at the APEC summit seems to have played a positive role in facilitating it. It has been learned that in order to further deepen cooperation, China, Japan, and the ROK will hold the 10 th Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Busan, South Korea, to exchange views on such issues as leaders' talks, the direction of cooperation, and the international situation.
The holding of the China-Japan-ROK Foreign Ministers' Meeting is of great significance. First of all, the dialogue and exchange of the Foreign Ministers' Meeting laid the foundation for the development of relations between China, Japan and the ROK. In international affairs, foreign ministers, as representatives of various countries, play an important role in communication and exchanges. When the foreign ministers of the three countries can sit down on an equal footing and engage in dialogue on important issues, it will be possible to resolve some sensitive and complex issues and lay a solid foundation for long-term and stable cooperation.
Second, the holding of this meeting will help promote the convening of the talks between the leaders of China, Japan, and the ROK. As one of the most important countries in Northeast Asia, the relationship between China, Japan and the ROK affects the stability and development of the entire region. Due to historical and practical reasons, there are some sensitive issues and contradictions between China, Japan, and the ROK, but only through dialogue and cooperation can we gradually resolve differences and establish relations of mutual trust and friendship and cooperation.
Third, the foreign ministers' meeting of China, Japan and the ROK is a regular form of exchange. The suspension of the China-Japan-South Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting for various reasons over the past four years does not represent a significant deterioration in relations between the three countries. On the contrary, exchanges and cooperation between China, Japan and the ROK in various fields have been continuously promoted, especially in economic and trade cooperation. The resumption of the Foreign Ministers' Meeting means that the diplomatic relations between the three countries will continue to deepen and develop.
To sum up, the holding of the China-Japan-ROK Foreign Ministers' Meeting has played a positive role in promoting the development of trilateral relations. Through dialogue and exchanges, mutual trust can be enhanced, contradictions can be resolved, preparations can be prepared for subsequent high-level talks, and cooperation between China, Japan and the ROK can be promoted and strengthened.
As one of the three most critical countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea have always attracted much attention from all sides. Although in the past period, China-Japan-ROK relations have been affected by some unfavorable factors, which have led to some tensions and disharmony between them. However, the current situation also gives us some positive signs that China, Japan, and South Korea may develop closer cooperation in the future.
Relations between China, Japan and South Korea have been affected by a number of factors. First of all, the historical issue is a prominent contradiction in China-Japan-ROK relations. Due to historical reasons, there are some sensitive and complex issues between China, Japan and South Korea, which have led to misunderstandings and a lack of trust between them. However, history should not be a stumbling block hindering trilateral cooperation, but should serve as a historical lesson for promoting the development of international relations.
Second, geopolitics and external pressures have also had an impact on China-Japan-South Korea relations. Japan and South Korea are located in the northeastern part of Asia, close to large countries such as the United States, and are influenced by their foreign policies. In international affairs, China, Japan, and South Korea all have a certain dependence on the United States, but at the same time, they also pursue their own interests and independence. Therefore, in handling Sino-Japanese-ROK relations, it is necessary to balance the relationship between internal and external interests so that the relations between the three countries can develop healthily and steadily.
Looking ahead, China-Japan-ROK relations are expected to develop in the direction of closer cooperation. First of all, China, Japan and the ROK are all aware that strengthening cooperation is a mutually beneficial choice under the current international situation. In the current global economic downturn, strengthening economic and trade cooperation with China can ease economic pressures, making Japan and South Korea have a positive attitude towards improving relations with China. Second, with the warming of Sino-US relations and the increase in Sino-Japanese contacts, Japan and South Korea do not want to become American"Heterogeneous"and hope to build a better relationship with China. Finally, the situation in Central Asia is delicate, and sitting at the same table is conducive to promoting cooperation between them and preparing for the convening of the China-Japan-South Korea summit.
However, in order to achieve the improvement and sustained development of China-Japan-ROK relations, we will face some difficulties and challenges. First of all, due to historical issues and geopolitical influences, there are still certain contradictions and obstacles between China, Japan and South Korea. Historical issues need to be resolved gradually in order to build mutual trust and friendly relations. Second, China, Japan, and the ROK need to get rid of external pressure and interference, and get rid of their dependence on the United States, so that they can truly make their own choices and act independently.
To sum up, there are some problems and contradictions between China, Japan and South Korea, but trilateral cooperation is the most beneficial plan. The recent China-Japan-ROK Foreign Ministers' Meeting has provided an opportunity for China-Japan-ROK leaders' talks, but it remains to be seen whether it will go smoothly in the end. If Japan and South Korea want to improve relations with China, they will need to break free from the influence of the United States and find a path of their own choice, but this will be a difficult one.
