Appendices 

   한국, 중국, 러시아 등 세계 주요국이 포함되어 있는 동북아시아는 고립된 북한을 비롯한 역내 정치·외교 관계의 불안정성으로 높게 평가되고 있는 경제발전 잠재력이 실현되지 못하고 있는 지역이다. 다만 2018년 6월에 성사된 북미 정상회담을 시작으로 한반도와 동북아 정세에 급격한 변화가 있는 가운데 역내 공동의 평화와 번영을 위한 협력방안 모색을 위한 노력이 긴요한 시점이다.
   이에 KIEP-NEAEF는 동북아 경제공동체 추진을 위해 북한을 포함한 동북아 국경간 인프라 연계성 증진 및 한반도 경제협력 및 통합을 위한 동북아개발은행 설립의 주제에 초점을 맞춰 관련 논의 및 연구를 지속하였다. 본 세미나 자료집은 수십 년간 쌓아온 NEAEF의 네트워크를 기반으로 한 2018년 세미나 논의현황 및 주요 연구결과를 정리한 것이다.

Appendix: Hong Kong Statement and Agenda
 

  2017년 북한의 핵실험과 미사일 실험발사는 동북아의 안보를 심각히 저해하는 행위였으며, 한중일간 군사, 외교, 영토, 역사 문제등으로 인한 갈등 역시 과거 어느때 보다도 첨예하게 대립된 한 해였다. 이 가운데 지난 수십년간의 역내 경제협력과 경제통합 측면에서의 실질적 진전은 고조되는 동북아의 군사, 외교적 위기를 억제하는데 큰 기여를 한것으로 평가된다. NEAEF는 한반도와 동북아를 둘러싼 역내 정치 ·외교적 마찰을 완화하고 평화와 번영을 증진하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 국경간 경제협력을 주제로 공동연구를 오랫동안 추진해왔다. 본보고서는 수십 년간 쌓아온 NEAEF의 네트워크를 기반으로 미래 동북아경제공동체 구축을 위한 전략 마련을 목적으로 2017년의 활동 및 주요 연구결과를 정리하였다.
