Secretary-General Zannier (자니에르)‚
Distinguished delegates‚
Ladies and gentlemen‚
For Europe and for Korea‚ this is a year of significant milestones. It marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War; the 25th anniversary of German reunification‚ as well as the 40th anniversary of the adoption of the Helsinki Final Act‚ especially relevant for the OSCE. As for Koreans‚ not only does this year mark the 70th anniversary of our liberation‚ but also the division of the Korean peninsula.
So‚ this would be a good juncture for us to reflect on the past and to strengthen our resolve to build a more peaceful‚ secure and prosperous future. However‚ it is also true that at present‚ both Europe and East Asia are facing some daunting challenges and new kinds of threats‚ which are more serious than ever since the end of the Cold War.
Looking west‚ we see Europe dealing with a fundamental geopolitical challenge to its post-war order and stability in the aftermath of events in Ukraine. Fortunately‚ the OSCE has rolled up its sleeves‚ dispatching a Special Monitoring Mission‚ and keeping an eye on the implementation of the Minsk agreements.
Looking east‚ to my part of the world‚ we can see a region fraught with multiple problems‚ both old and new. North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats continue to destabilize the region. We have tensions on the skies‚ the seas‚ land and cyberspace‚ not to mention history issues. In part‚ this is due to the different dreams and visions of regional countries: the U.S. rebalance to Asia‚ China’s rise and its new security concept‚ Russia’s Look East policy‚ Japan’s policy to unshackle itself from the bondage of the Second World War ? and more than anything else‚ North Korea’s anachronistic pursuit of nuclear weapons. The recent developments in the South China Sea are now taking a dangerous course. In short‚ we are seeing a divergence‚ rather than a convergence‚ of these visions. This reminds us of Dr. Kissinger’s stark warning in Munich last year‚ that “Asia is more in a position of 19th century Europe‚ where military conflict is not ruled out.”
So‚ in a sense‚ what we see at both the eastern and the western ends of the Eurasian continent looks like a fragile‚ rather than a durable‚ peace.
Moreover‚ it is not just regional security issues that are fueling instability and uncertainty. The global issues we are grappling with are complex‚ and often intertwined with each other: foreign terrorist fighters‚ violent extremism‚ cyber threats‚ epidemic outbreaks‚ maritime refugees‚ and climate change. All these are non-traditional‚ trans-national threats that affect us all. Like Dr. Brzezinski said‚ quote‚ “we’re seeing the kind of world in which there is enormous turmoil and fragmentation and uncertainty‚ not a single central threat to everybody‚ but a lot of diversified threats to almost everybody‚” unquote.
However‚ for us‚ this gloomy outlook actually means that there is a wide scope for cooperation. In facing these challenges‚ Europe and Asia can work together by sharing experiences and engaging in cross-regional dialogue. Today’s 2015 OSCE Asian Conference is the perfect venue for this‚ and I would like to welcome all participants‚ including Minister Burkhalter‚ Deputy Prime Minister Tanasak‚ Secretary-General Zannier to this great gathering.
Ladies and gentlemen‚
From the outset‚ my government allowed for a great transformation‚ a tectonic shift in the international landscape. In my speech at Chatham
