문 대통령, 리커창 총리 회동 "한중 실질협력관계 조속한 정상화에 최선" President Moon Jae-in marched on with his vision for a stronger, wider partnership between South Korea and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as he met with the leaders of the ten member nations. But, what grabbed the most attention -- at least from the Korean media -- was a one-on-one between President Moon and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. Our chief Blue House correspondent Moon Connyoung reports. (STAND-UP) "This is the Philippine International Convention Center, the venue of the 2017 Summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and related meetings. The area in and around the venue had been locked down for days leading up to the main event AND Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has made an executive order declaring the three days of the ASEAN Summit special non-working days; schools and offices in the Metro Manila area are closed today... to ensure safety, security, and convenience for leaders and delegations visiting this country for the summit." ( - ) South Korean President Moon Jae-in is one of the eighteen plus leaders attending the international summit... one that's of particular importance to a leader who has his eyes fixed on the ASEAN region... determined to bring their relations, diplomatic AND economic, to new heights. To this, the leaders of the ASEAN threw full support as well as on South Korea's efforts to establish lasting peace on the Korean peninsula.

For South Korean President Moon Jae-in, that includes Chinese Premier Li Keqiang."

The Blue House interpretation of the encounter... extremely optimistic. (Korean) "Premier Li Keqiang said although it's inevitable that the two countries run into sensitive issues as the relationship develops further, his forecast of China-South Korea practical cooperation is very bright... and that he was confident about the future of their bilateral ties as the industrial structures are highly complementary."

Experts remain divided on how smooth the relationship will proceed from here on out, but what's for sure is that it's too soon to tell... and we'll definitely find more out in a couple of weeks' time when South Korean President Moon makes that Beijing visit to face his Chinese counterpart in December.
