판문점 선언 이후 남북 인도협력사업 평가와 과제

Abstract

In this article, the author will evaluate South and North Korea humanitarian cooperation projects since the participation of North Korea in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and discuss future tasks. Since 2010, North Korea has consistently upgraded its nuclear capability and received international sanctions against it. Also, the inter-Korean humanitarian cooperation projects have been significantly decreased by the tougher sanctions against North Korea. The Moon Jae-in government have been sending North Korea a consistent peace message. And then, The two governments of North and South Korea carried out a series of humanitarian cooperation projects based on the agreements of inter- Korean Summits in 2018. However, the impact of international sanctions on North Korea and the North's lukewarm attitude have resulted in less-than-expected results. Three categories of measures are needed for progress in humanitarian cooperation in the future. First, South Korea should develop active measures that could attract North Korea's participation in a project more beneficial to South Korea. Secondly, both South and North Korea are mutually beneficial, but in the event of difficulties in North Korea, South Korea should actively step up and proceed with the project. Finally, it has to need efforts to minimize security impacts on humanitarian cooperation and to develop symbolic cooperation projects between South and North Korea, North Korea and the United States.
