Russia’s Turn to the East: Rethinking Economic Cooperation between Russia and South Korea

Russia’s Turn to the East and the New North Policy of South Korea, at first glance, suggest interaction in sectors that are beneficial to both sides. However, the three main areas of economic interaction — in-vestment, trade, and humanitarian cooperation — do not lead to a qualitative growth in Russian-Korean relations. Measures to increase the effectiveness of cooperation should include not only solving technical issues, but also creating shared values, improving the efficiency of institutions and coordinating the work of various interaction channels.
