Dall’analisi di Andrew Yeo, Brookings. Under President Yoon Suk-yeol, the South Korean government aims to release its own Indo-Pacific strategy by the end of 2022. Nevertheless, doubts still linger as to whether South Korea can play a larger strategic role beyond the Korean Peninsula, and cooperate with like-minded actors to strengthen the region’s security architecture. This policy brief describes the evolution of South Korea’s foreign policy role in the Indo-Pacific between former South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s government (2017-2022) and the first year of the Yoon administration (2022-present). It also draws attention to the perspective of other regional actors, which to date have viewed South Korea as an important economic partner, but not necessarily a key strategic player in the region.
