韩外交部：努力推动韩中关系健康成熟发展
首尔，2024年8月22日 – 在韩中建交32周年纪念日（8月24日）即将到来之际，韩国政府表示将努力推动两国关系朝着健康成熟的方向发展。
韩国外交部发言人李在雄22日表示，政府希望与中方共同努力，基于相互尊重和互惠互利的原则推动两国关系向着更加健康成熟的方向发展。
李在雄强调，韩中两国是重要的合作伙伴，在经贸、文化、科技等领域有着广泛的合作基础。近年来，两国关系取得了长足发展，但同时也面临着一些挑战。韩国政府将继续致力于加强与中国的沟通和协调，妥善处理分歧，推动两国关系持续健康发展。
此外，韩国政府还表示，将积极参与“一带一路”倡议，并与中国在应对气候变化、维护地区和平稳定等全球性议题上加强合作。
韩新冠疫情蔓延势头放缓 下周或迎拐点
韩国境内新冠住院病例增势有所放缓，防疫部门预测本轮疫情将在8月底达到顶峰后逐渐消退，高峰期单周确诊病例数或低于此前预测的35万例。
疾病管理厅针对220家医院级医疗机构进行的抽样监测结果显示，新冠住院病例数量自6月底逐周增加，但增幅自7月第四周（109.7%）以来持续收窄，8月第三周降至5.7%。
韩央行下调今年经济增长预期至2.4%
韩国银行22日将韩国今年国内生产总值（GDP）增长预期由5月的2.5%下调至2.4%，并将居民消费价格指数（CPI）涨幅预期下调至2.5%。
分析认为，央行此举或考虑到第二季度经济增速环比下滑0.2%、第三季度居民消费支出等内需指标未明显改善等因素。
