The Yoon Seok-youl Administration's"Sales Diplomacy":Motivations,Strategies,and Evaluations
Export-oriented strategy is the core driving force of South Korea's economic development.After taking office,the Yoon Seok-youl administration has carried forward the tradition of"sales diplomacy"emphasized by successive Korean leaders.It has introduced a series of supportive policies to vigorously promote the export of strategic projects such as military industry,nuclear power,and infrastructure,actively expanding overseas markets by using summit diplomacy as a traction.It is noteworthy that the Yoon Seok-youl government combines"economic diplomacy"with"security cooperation,"deepens political,economic,and security interests with partner countries through military exports,and builds strongholds in strategic regions such as the Middle East,Europe,and Southeast Asia.It is striving to become a"global pivotal country"by expanding its cooperative partners and increasing its influence.However,Yoon Seok-youl administration's"sales diplomacy"is subject to uncertainties in the external environment and internal disputes,and the implementation of the results is subject to many constraints,making the realization of the strategic goals a serious test.
