South Korea will hold a pan-government forum next week to assess its Indo-Pacific strategy and discuss future tasks on the occasion of its first anniversary, the foreign ministry said Thursday.
In December last year, the Yoon Suk Yeol government unveiled the strategy committed to promoting freedom, peace and prosperity through the establishment of a rules-based order under the principles of inclusiveness, trust and reciprocity.
It seeks to pursue nine core tasks related to building a rules-based regional order and comprehensive security cooperation, enhancing economic security through cooperation in science technology, and climate change cooperation, and engaging in development cooperation partnerships.
The forum, set for Tuesday, will outline major achievements of the Indo-Pacific strategy and discuss action plans for various projects in the coming months.
The envisioned projects will range from building maritime domain awareness platforms, and eradicating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, to discussions on tailored development cooperation and expanding regional cooperative funds, the ministry said.
"We focused on cementing the foundation of the Indo-Pacific strategy, policy-wise and at the material level, sending a message of resilience based on the rules-based order, which is the core value of our Indo-Pacific strategy," a foreign ministry official said.
At the forum, the government is also expected to announce details on the envisioned three-way Indo-Pacific dialogue among South Korea, the United States and Japan, as agreed at the landmark Camp David summit of the leaders of the three countries in August. (Yonhap)
