首尔市市长吴世勋近日在北京与中国同行记者座谈时表示，韩中日三国在外交上时常会遇到波折和挑战，但地方政府之间应当积极发挥作用，推动彼此关系的稳定发展，以促进整个国家间的友好往来。
吴世勋市长指出，自尹锡悦政府上台以来，韩中、韩日及韩美日关系均有所改善，为地方政府之间的合作提供了良好的契机。他强调，尽管过去韩中关系因“萨德”事件等经历波折，但当前正是提出加强区域合作的最佳时机。
吴世勋提出，以首尔、北京和东京为核心的“BeSeTo”三座城市之间，自上世纪90年代以来一直保持着密切的交流合作。他提议重启这一合作关系，并计划在9月前咨询专家意见，重新确立合作方向，并在10月向北京和东京提议开展工作层级的讨论，目标是在明年发布“面向未来的BeSeTo合作关系”。
此外，吴世勋市长在上个月28日至30日访问了中国重庆和北京，探索城市间的合作方案，并与重庆市市长胡衡华和北京市长殷勇举行了会谈。此次访问旨在打破东北亚区域合作的停滞局面，通过地方政府层面的合作，寻求与邻国的互惠发展。
吴世勋的这一倡议，不仅反映了地方政府在推动区域合作中的积极作用，也预示着韩中日三国在新时代下可能开启的新合作篇章。

News Content:
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon recently expressed in a discussion with Chinese journalists in Beijing that although the three countries of Korea, China, and Japan often encounter bumps and challenges in foreign affairs, it is the responsibility of local governments to play an active role in promoting stable development of their relationships and fostering friendly exchanges between the entire nations.
Mayor Oh pointed out that since the administration of President尹锡悦 took office, relations between Korea, China, Japan, and the United States have shown improvements, providing a favorable opportunity for cooperation among local governments. He stressed that despite the setbacks experienced in Sino-Korean relations due to events like the “THAAD” incident, it is now the perfect time to propose strengthening regional cooperation.
Mayor Oh proposed that the three cities of Seoul, Beijing, and Tokyo, which have maintained close exchanges and cooperation since the 1990s under the “BeSeTo” framework, should restart this cooperation. He plans to consult with experts before September to redefine the direction of cooperation and propose in October to Beijing and Tokyo to initiate discussions at the working level, aiming to release a “BeSeTo Cooperation Relationship for the Future” by next year.
In addition, Mayor Oh conducted a visit to Chongqing and Beijing in China from the 28th to the 30th of last month to explore cooperation schemes between cities and held talks with Chongqing Mayor Hu Henghua and Beijing Mayor Yin Yong. This visit aimed to break the stagnation in Northeast Asian regional cooperation and seek mutual beneficial development through cooperation at the local government level.
Mayor Oh’s initiative reflects the active role of local governments in promoting regional cooperation and hints at the possibility of a new chapter in Sino-Korean-Japanese cooperation in the new era.
