Northeast Asian countries need to strengthen multilateral cooperation to address global challenges, such as under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, to promote common interests and share the fruits of development, said Gao Xiang, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Gao made the remarks at the Ninth Asia Research Forum, a high-level seminar themed “Cooperation in Northeast Asia under New Circumstances”, which was held in Beijing on April 29 to find new solutions for regional multilateral cooperation. He added that the Belt and Road Initiatives provides a platform for policy coordination for the region, for example, wedding Russia’s New Oriental Policy, the Brightness Road of Kazakhstan, Japan's Abeomics, and South Korea’s New Economic Map.
Yu Hongjun, a former vice-minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, stressed that at a time when the world is undergoing uncertainties and transformation, it is the right time to introduce the BRI to Northeast Asia and build a multi-tier, multi-level and multiple-sector structure of cooperation.
Yu stressed that in Northeast Asia, mergers and acquisitions and coordination of policies and standards will help countries go beyond different social systems and values, thus increasing the space for development, embracing economic globalization, improving the global governance system and meeting people's desire for peace and development.
Professor Zhang Yunling, a CASS member, says that by pursuing win-win cooperation, countries in the region could establish a future-oriented strategic partnership. He believes that there should be a focus on two issues: promoting regional identity based on common interests, equal status and shared historical and cultural recognition; and the role of each country in the cooperation mechanism. He urges the expansion of the e current sub-regional economic cooperation mechanisms such as the Tumen River economic circle zone.
Emerging technologies have gradually become crucial in global politics and strategies, said In-kook Park, president of the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies. He pointed out that emerging technologies including 5G, AI and gene editing present challenges as well as opportunities. As there still is no worldwide accepted standard in the field, issues of security and ethics will be in focus.
