Asia
China (PRC)
Active South Korean-Chinese people-to-people contacts have been encouraged. Academics, journalists and particularly families divided between South Korea and thePeople's Republic of China(PRC) were able to exchange visits freely in the late 1980s. Nearly 2 million ethnicKoreans,especially in theYanbian Korean Autonomous PrefectureinJilin ProvinceofNortheast China,have interacted with South Koreans.[clarification needed]
Trade between the two countries continued to increase nonetheless, Furthermore, China has attempted to mediate between North Korea and theUnited States,and between North Korea and Japan. China also initiated and promoted tripartite talks between North Korea, South Korea and the U.S.
South Korea had long been an ally ofTaiwan.Diplomatic ties between Seoul andTaipeiwere nevertheless severed in 1992. Formal diplomatic relations were established between Seoul andBeijingon August 24, 1992.
In 2004 the PRC government began theNortheast Project,sparking a massive uproar in South Korea when the project was widely publicized.[6]
After theKORUS FTA(United States-South KoreaFree Trade Agreement) was finalized on June 30, 2007, theChinese governmenthas immediately begun seeking anFTAagreement with South Korea.[7]TheFTAbetween South Korea and China are under discussion. South Korea has been running atrade surpluswith China which hit a record US$32.5 billion in 2009.[8][9]
Taiwan (ROC)
On 23 August 1992, thegovernment of the Republic of China(by then only in control of theisland of Taiwanand a few outlying areas) severed diplomatic relations with South Korea in advance of its announcement of formal recognition of thePeople's Republic of Chinabased inBeijing.TheYonhap Newssaid in 2002 that since then relations between the twogovernmentshave been "in a rut".[10]
Japan
The relation between South Korea andJapanhas both political conflicts and economic intimacies. Examples of conflicts include theEast sea naming dispute,visits by successive JapanesePrime Ministersto theYasukuni Shrineand the disputed ownership ofDokdoof theislandKorea.
On January 18, 1952, The first president of South KoreaSyngman Rheedeclared that the vicinity ofDokdowas a territory of South Korea (Syngman Rhee line). Subsequently, some 3,000Japanesefishermen who conducted fishery operations in this vicinity were captured. This incident, called theDai Ichi Daihoumaru Ship casestrained relations between South Korea and Japan.
June 22, 1965, The president in South KoreaPark Chung Heeconcluded the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and South Korea As a result, Japan considered South Korea to be the legitimate successor of its rule over theKorean Peninsula.
South Korea's trade withJapanwas US$892.1 million in 2008, with a surplus of nearly US$327.1 million on the Japanese side.[11]Japanese and South Koreans firms often had interdependent relations, which gave Japan advantages in South Korea's growing market.
In 1996FIFAannounced that the South Korea-Japan would jointly host the2002 FIFA World Cup.The next few years would see leaders of both countries meet to warm relations in preparations for the games.[12]The year 2005 was designated as the "Japan-South Korea Friendship Year".
However, theLiancourt Rockscontroversy erupted again when Japan'sShimane Prefecturedeclared "Takeshima Day", inciting mass demonstrations in South Korea.[13]
Mongolia
Both countries established diplomatic relations on March 26, 1990. South Korea has an embassy inUlaanbaatar,Mongolia.[14]Mongoliahas an embassy in Seoul.[15]
Philippines
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties on 3 March 1949, the relationship between thePhilippinesand South Korea has flourished. The Philippines was one of the first countries that extended diplomatic recognition to South Korea. This was cemented with thePhilippinegovernment's deployment of thePhilippineExpeditionary Force to Korea (PEFTOK) to help South Korea against theinvasionof thecommunistNorth during theKorean Warin the 1950s. After the war, the Philippines provided development assistance to South Korea and helped the country rebuild itself.
Since then, the Philippines's relations with South Korea have evolved with South Korea becoming one of the Philippines's most important bilateral partners aside from the United States, China and Japan. The Philippines's government seeks to cultivate strategic ties with South Korea given its increasing presence in the country. In the coming years, the Philippines anticipates to benefit from exploring unprecedented opportunities from South Korea that shall contribute significantly to the country's trade and economy, defense and security, and society and culture.
Vietnam
The relationship between these twoSinosphere countriesis usually described as "from enemies to friends". Despite the two states' hostile positions in theVietnam WarandSouth Korean war crimes and atrocities in the Vietnam War,which still causes lingering controversies between the two states, both countries have still become each other's most important trade partner throughout their relationship. South Korea is the third biggest trade partner of Vietnam while also being the second-biggest ODA provider and the biggestforeign direct investorto Vietnam; meanwhile, Vietnam is the third-biggest trade partner of South Korea and it is also hosting many important factories and facilities of South Korea's biggestconglomeratesuch asSamsungandLG.[16][17]
In December 2022, the two nations have elevated their ties tocomprehensive strategic partnership– technically the highest level of bilateral relationship that is designated by theVietnamese side.Both countries have aimed to raise their two-way trade to 100 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 and expected to reach 150 billion by the end of this decade. Besides major economic ties and cooperations, South Korea and Vietnam also plan to further cooperate in politics,cultural exchange,resources exploitation,national security as well as in thedefense sectors.Both countries share core benefits, concerns, and support to each other in issues related to the security of the region, noticeably Vietnamese support towards South Korea's effort indenuclearizationof the Korean Peninsula (mentioningNorth Korea) and South Korea's support on Vietnam's attitude towards thestabilityandfreedom of navigationof theSouth China Sea.[18]Vietnam is also an important partner of South Korea to exercise itsIndo-Pacific strategyand the insight to strengthen South Korea's relationship withthe Association of Southeast Asian Nations.It is said that Vietnam can be a "bridge" or "ambassador" representing South Korea's influence to theSoutheast Asiaregion.[19]
In the state visit of thePresident of Vietnamto South Korea in December 2022,South Korean PresidentYoon Suk-yeolhas honoredVietnamese PresidentNguyễn Xuân Phúcas"my very firstnational guest"(referring the fact that his Vietnamese counterpart was the firsthead of stateto visit South Korea during his terms), and also saying that the people of Vietnam and South Korea are"close brothers".[20]
North Korea
Inter-Korean relations may be divided into five periods. The first stage was between 1972 and 1973; the second stage wasPyongyangNorth Korea's delivery of relief goods to South Korea after a typhoon caused devastating floods in 1984 and the third stage was the exchange of home visits and performing artists in 1985. The fourth stage, activated by Nordpolitik under Roh, was represented by expanding public and private contacts between the two Koreas. The fifth stage was improved following the 1997 election ofKim Dae-jung.His "Sunshine Policy"of engagement with North Korea set the stage for the historic June 2000Inter-Korean summit.
The possibility ofKorean reunificationhas remained a prominent topic. However, no peace treaty has yet been signed with the North. In June 2000, a historic first North Korea-South Korea summit took place, part of the South Korea's continuingSunshine Policyof engagement. Since then, regular contacts have led to a cautious thaw. President Kim was awarded theNobel Peace Prizein 2000 for the policy.
With that policy, continued by the following administration of presidentRoh Moo-hyun,economic ties between the two countries have increased, humanitarian aid has been sent to North Korea and some divided families have been briefly reunited.Militaryties remain fraught with tension, however, and in 2002 a brief naval skirmish left four South Korean sailors dead, leaving the future of the Sunshine policy uncertain. The North Korea cut off talks but the South remained committed to the policy of reconciliation and relations began to thaw again. The resurgence of thenuclearissue two years later would again cast relations in doubt, but South Korea has sought to play the role of intermediary rather than antagonist, and economic ties at the time seemed to be growing again.
Despite the Sunshine Policy and efforts at reconciliation, the progress was complicated byNorth Korean missile testsin1993,1998,2006and2009.As of early 2009[update],relationships between North Korea and South Korea were very tense; North Korea had been reported to have deployed missiles,[21]Ended its former agreements with South Korea[22]and threatened South Korea andthe United Statesnot to interfere with a satellite launch it had planned.[23] As of 2009 North Korea and South Korea are still opposed and share a heavily fortified border.[24]
On May 27, 2009, North Korea media declared that the armistice is no longer valid due to the South Korean government's pledge to "definitely join" theProliferation Security Initiative.To further complicate and intensify strains between the two nations, thesinking of the South Korean warshipCheonanin March 2010, killing 46 seamen, is as of May 20, 2010 claimed by a team of researchers around the world[25]to have been caused by a North Korean torpedo, which the North denies. South Korea agreed with the findings from the research group and presidentLee Myung-bakdeclared in May 2010 thatSeoulwould cut all trade with North Korea as part of measures primarily aimed at striking back at North Korea diplomatically and financially.[26]As a result of this, North Korea severed all ties and completely abrogated the previous pact of non aggression.[27]
In November 2010, the Unification Ministry officially declared the Sunshine Policy a failure, thus bringing the policy to an end.[28][29]On November 23, 2010,North Koreanartilleryshelled Yeonpyeongwith dozens of rounds at Yeonpyeong-ri and the surrounding area.[30]
According to a 2013BBC WorldService Poll, 3% of South Koreans view theDemocratic People's Republic of Korea's influence positively, with 91% expressing a negative view.[31]A 2015 government-sponsored poll revealed that 41% of South Koreans consider North Korea to be an enemy, with negative views being more prevalent among younger respondents.[32]Still, in a 2017 poll, 58% of South Koreans said they don't expect another war to break out with North Korea.[33]
Europe
Russia
In the 1980s South Korean presidentRoh Tae Woo'sNordpolitikandMikhail Gorbachev's "New Thinking" were both attempts to reverse their nations' recent histories.Gorbachevhad signaledSovietinterest in improving relations with all countries in theAsia-Pacificregion including South Korea as explained in his July 1986Vladivostokand August 1988Krasnoyarskspeeches.
In initiatingNordpolitikRoh's confidentialforeign policyadviser was rumored to have visitedMoscowRussiato consult with Soviet policymakers.Kim Young SamvisitedMoscow,Russian Federationfrom June 2 to June 10, 1989, as theKremlinannounced that it would allow some 300,000 Soviet-South Koreans who had been on the SovietislandofSakhalinsince the end ofWorld War IIto return permanently to South Korea.Moscoweven arranged Kim's meeting with theNorth Koreanambassadorto theSoviet UnionIn June 1990, Roh held his first summit with presidentGorbachevinSan Francisco,United States.
South Korea and theSoviet Unionestablished diplomatic relations on September 30, 1990. These relations continued by theRussian Federationon December 27, 1991.RussianpresidentVladimir Putinvisited Seoul in February 2001 while South Korean presidentRoh Moo-hyunvisitedMoscow,Russiain September 2004.[34][35]
Russian Federal Space Agencyand theKorean Astronaut Programcooperated together to send South Korea's first astronaut into space.Yi So-Yeonbecame the first South Korean national as well as the third woman to be the first national in space on 8 April 2008 whenSoyuz TMA-12departed fromBaikonur Cosmodrome.[36]
Since the 1990s there has been greater trade and cooperation between the Russian Federation and South Korea. The total trade volume between South Korea and Russia in 2003 was 4.2 billion U.S. dollars.[37]

European Union
TheEuropean Union(EU) and South Korea are important trading partners, having negotiated afree trade agreementfor many years since South Korea was designated as a priorityFTApartner in 2006. Thefree trade agreementhas been approved in September 2010, followingItaly's conditional withdrawal of its veto of thefree trade agreement.[39]The compromise made byItalywas thatfree trade agreementwould take provisional effect on July 1, 2011. South Korea is the EU's eighth largest trade partner and the EU has become South Korea's second largest export destination. EU trade with South Korea exceeded €65 billion in 2008 and has enjoyed an annual average growth rate of 7.5% between 2004 and 2008.[40]
The EU has been the single largest foreign investor in South Korea since 1962 and accounted for almost 45% of all FDI inflows into South Korea in 2006. Nevertheless, EU companies have significant problems accessing and operating in South Korea market due to stringent standards and testing requirements for products and services often creating barriers to trade. Both in its regular bilateral contacts with South Korea and through itsFTAwith South Korea, the EU is seeking to improve this situation.[40]
Americas
United States
The United States engaged in the decolonization of Korea (mainly in the South, with the Soviet Union engaged in North Korea) from Japan after World War II. After three years of military administration by the United States, the South Korean government was established. Upon the onset of theKorean War,U.S. forces were sent to defend South Korea against invasion by North Korea and later China. Following the Armistice, South Korea and the U.S. agreed to a "Mutual Defense Treaty", under which an attack on either party in the Pacific area would summon a response from both.[41]
In 1968, South Korea obliged the mutual defense treaty, by sending a large combat troop contingent to support the United States in theVietnam War.TheU.S. Eighth Army,Seventh Air Force,andU.S. Naval Forces Koreaare stationed in South Korea. The two nations have strong economic, diplomatic, and military ties, although they have at times disagreed with regard to policies towards North Korea, and with regard to some of South Korea's industrial activities that involve usage of rocket or nuclear technology. There had also been strong anti-American sentiment during certain periods, which has largely moderated in the modern day.[42]
Since the late 1980s, the country has instead sought to establish an American partnership, which has made the Seoul–Washingtonrelationship subject to severe strains. Trade had become a serious source of friction between the two countries. In 1989, the United States was South Korea's largest and most important trading partner and South Korea was the seventh-largest market for United States goods and the second largest market for its agricultural products.
FromRoh Tae-woo's administration toRoh Moo Hyun's administration, South Korea sought to establish a U.S. partnership, which has made the Seoul–Washingtonrelationship subject to some strains. In 2007, afree trade agreementknown as theRepublic of Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement(KORUS FTA) was reportedly signed between South Korea and the United States, but its formal implementation has been repeatedly delayed, pending further approval by the legislative bodies of the two countries.
The relations between the United States and South Korea have greatly strengthened under theLee Myung-bakadministration. At the2009 G-20 London summit,U.S. President Barack Obama called South Korea "one of America's closest allies and greatest friends."[43]
However, someanti-American sentiment in South Koreastill exists; the United States' alleged role in the May 1980 Gwangju uprising was a pressing South Korean political issue of the 1980s. Even after a decade, some Gwangju citizens and other South Koreans still blamed the United States for its perceived involvement in the bloody uprising. In 2008, theprotests against U.S. beefwas a center of a major controversy that year.
In a June 2010 open letter fromPresident of South KoreaLee Myung-bakpublished in theLos Angeles Times,he expressed gratitude for the 37,000 Americans who were killed in the Korean War defending South Korea, saying that they fought for the freedom of South Koreans they did not even know. He stated that thanks to their sacrifices, the peace and democracy of the South Korean state was protected.[44]
The U.S. states that "The Alliance is adapting to changes in the 21st Century security environment. We will maintain a robust defense posture, backed by allied capabilities which support both nations' security interests We will continue to deepen our strong bilateral economic, trade and investment relations In the Asia-Pacific region we will work jointly with regional institutions and partners to foster prosperity, keep the peace, and improve the daily lives of the people of the region TheUnited Statesand South Korea will work to achieve our common Alliance goals through strategic cooperation at every level.
