Yoon Suk-yeol foreign policy

Beijing is showing its sunny side, in hopes of convincing Yoon Suk-yeol that cooperation is a better choice than the hard line he embraced on the campaign trail.

Taking a stand on the Ukraine crisis will bring both opportunities and risk for the incoming Yoon administration.

The U.S. president will be visiting South Korea and Japan from May 20-24.

The incoming Yoon administration will change Seoul’s overtures on North Korea issues. As a result, the arms race will likely be intensified in the coming years. 

President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol will carry on Moon’s legacy in one aspect at least: the military industry.

Can Yoon Suk-yeol have his cake and eat it too when it comes to China policy?

The victory of the more hawkish, China-skeptical candidate means China must rethink its approach to the Korean Peninsula.

Tensions between the two are frozen over, but president-elect Yoon Suk-yeol has spoken of his interest in a thaw.

The foreign policy platforms of the two leading candidates in South Korea’s upcoming presidential election are more alike than they are different.

There has been a fundamental shift in the dynamics surrounding Japan-South Korea relations, with both sides hardening their approach.

Along with their different policies on North Korea, the two candidates also have different perspectives on Japan.
