在天安舰事件和延坪岛炮击事件影响下,半岛局势空前紧张。2010年韩国外交重点是围绕应对半岛局势而开展的。李明博积极推行亲美政策,韩国与美日两国由于共同应对朝鲜威胁而使得三边关系日益紧密,韩中关系却因此出现隔阂,还带来了对朝政策主导权的弱化、半岛局势更加严峻等负面影响。年内韩美FTA的签署、成功举办G20峰会是韩国外交领域引人注目的大事。在能源、文化、国际组织领域,韩国继续开展外交活动并取得显著成绩。
<<In 2010,the RK’s diplomacy focused on the appropriate handling of the situation on the Peninsula,which had been extremely tense with the impact of the Cheonan Incident and the Yeonpyeong Island Incident. On one hand,with the government’s vigorous advocating of the pro-US policies,the tri-lateral bonds between the RK,Japan and the US had been further strengthened due to the common confrontation to DPRK,while on the other hand,Sino-RK relationship had undergone misunderstanding and distrust,in addition to more negative impacts such as the abatement of the RK’s leading role in DPRK policies and even more intensified tension on the Peninsula. Nevertheless,there had been eye-catching diplomatic events such as the RK’s signing of FTA with the US and the success of G20 summits. The RK had been keeping at its fruitful diplomatic efforts concerning resources,culture and international organizations.
