On September 30, 2020, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Korea celebrated the 30th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations. This is a good occasion to look back at the achievements, taking into account miscalculations and problems in bilateral cooperation, as well as to assess the prospects for further collaboration.
An objective look at the journey the two countries have travelled over these years shows that the Moscow–Seoul dialogue has demonstrated generally positive dynamics largely because the two states have no major political contradictions and their economies complement each other.
At the same time, the results achieved cannot be considered satisfactory since they do not fully reflect the two states’ potential and capabilities. This study provides an analysis of the results of economic cooperation between Russia and South Korea, identifies untapped resources, assesses prospects and elaborates proposals for making collaboration more efficient.
