The participating experts reached a consensus that both China and the Republic of Korea should reflect upon and draw lessons from a series of issues that have emerged in the course of bilateral relations, including how to properly balance the ROK–U.S. alliance with China–ROK ties, how to sustain and expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and how to pursue sustainable and mutually beneficial cooperation amid increasing economic competition and decreasing complementarities.
Experts from the Korean side emphasized that China–ROK relations are entering a critical juncture. They stressed the need to address existing challenges with determination and foresight, and to chart a new framework and new objectives for bilateral relations in the broader context of promoting peace and development in Asia and the world.
