요약: 5월 27~30일 중국 베이징에서 후진타오 주석과 가질 예정인 정상회담에서 이명박은 한중 관계를 현재의 “포괄적 협력 동반자관계”에서 “전략적 협력 동반자관계”로 격상하는데 합의할 것이라고 노규덕은 밝혔다. 오는 외교부 중국 몽골 국 국장이다. 양측은 또 6자 회담의 대처 상태에 대해 논의할 예정이다. 이와 함께 중국-한국 FTA와 다른 쌍무 문제들도 다룬다. 노국장은 정상회담에서 나올 중국어로 된 공동성명서 초안을 우리에게 제공했다. 초안은 이 전문의 마지막 부분에 첨부돼 있다.
¶1. (C) SUMMARY: During the May 27-30 Summit with PRC President Hu Jintao in Beijing, President Lee Myung-bak will agree to upgrade the Korea-China relationship from the current “Comprehensive Cooperative Partnership” to one of “Strategic Cooperative Partnership,” said Noh Kyu-duk, Director of MOFAT's China and Mongolia Division. The two sides will also discuss the state of play in the Six Party Talks, North Korean refugees in China, the potential for a PRC-ROK free trade agreement (FTA), and other bilateral issues. Noh provided poloffs with a Chinese draft of a joint statement for the summit, attached at the end of this message. END SUMMARY.
PRC-ROK Strategic Dialogue
중국-한국 전략 대화
노국장은 “포괄적”에서 “전략적”으로 격상은 대부분 상징적인 것이 될 것이며 실제적인 내용이라는 면에서 거의 계획된 게 없다고 말했다. 노국장은 그러나 그 같은 전략적 대화가 점진적으로 양국 관계를 넓혀, 양국간 현안을 넘어 중장기 이슈들을 포함하게 될 것이라고 말했다. 한반도와 동북아의 장래 같은 이슈들이 그 것이다. 첫 번째 후속 “전략 대화” 회담은 양국의 외교부 제 1차관 사이에 열릴 것이다. 한국의 권종락 제 1차관과 중국의 차관 직무대리 완이가 그들로써 7월이나 8월 중에 회담이 있을 것이다. 질문에 대한 응답으로, 노국장은 어떤 형식이든 중국과 군사적 협력에 대해 논의하는 것은 시기상조가 될 것이라고 말했다.
¶2. (C) Noh said that the upgrade from a “comprehensive” to “strategic” dialogue would be mostly symbolic, with little planned in the way of actual substance. Noh noted, however,
that such a strategic dialogue could gradually broaden the ROK-PRC relationship beyond immediate bilateral issues to include medium- and long-term issues, including the future of
the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia. The first follow-up “strategic dialogue” meeting will be held between the respective First Vice Foreign Ministers, ROK VFM Kwon Jong-rak and PRC standing Vice Minister Wan Yi, in either July or August. In response to a question, Noh said that it was still too early to discuss any type of military cooperation with China.
North Korea Issues
북한 문제
이 대통령은 6자 회담의 2단계 조치가 철저하게 그러나 신속하게 이행돼야 한다고 강조할 것이다. 이 대통령은 한반도의 비핵화를 불러오기 위한, 또 북한 인민들의 1인당 소득을 미화 3000달러로 끌어 올리기 위한 그의 “비핵화와 개방 3000” 비전을 설명할 것이지만, 중국측은 북한이 그 같은 조치를 거부하는데 비춰볼 때, 그 같은 정책에 대해 언급하기를 주저할 것이라고 노국장은 예상했다.
¶3. (C) President Lee will emphasize that the Second Phase of the Six Party Talks should be implemented thoroughly but quickly, said Noh. While President Lee will explain his “Denuclearization and Opening 3000” vision to bring about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and raise the per capita income in North Korea to USD 3000, Noh nticipated that the Chinese would hesitate to comment on the policy in light of the DPRK's rejection of the policy.
북한 난민 문제에 관해, 이대통령은 후진타오 주석에게 중국에 체류하고 있는 탈북자의 북한 송환을 중지해달라고 요청할 계획이다. 나아가, 이대통령은 중국 당국이 한국으로 향하는 탈북자들의 수속 시간을 줄여달라고 요청할 것이다. 그러나 별도의 회담에서 외교부의 남북한 정책국의 진기훈 국장은 노무현 전대통령이 거듭해 중국 지도자들에게 탈북자 북한 송환 문제를 제기했으나, 중국측으로부터 매번 북한 사람들은 불법 경제 이민자들이라는 대답만 들었다고 말했다.
¶4. (C) On North Korean refugees, President Lee will ask President Hu to stop the refoulement of North Korean refugees in China to North Korea. Furthermore, President Lee will ask for Chinese authorities to speed up the processing times for ROK-bound North Korean refugees. In a separate meeting, however, MOFAT Inter-Korean Policy Division Director Chin
Ki-hoon said that former President Roh Moo-hyun had repeatedly raised the refoulement issue with Chinese leaders, only to be told each time that the North Koreans were illegal
economic migrants.
PRC-ROK FTA
중국-한국 FTA
중국은 이대통령에게 중한 FTA 협상을 압박할 것이다, 그러나 한국의 반응은 이 문제를 추후로 미루는 것이 될 것이라고 노국장은 말했다. 그 같은 FTA 가능성에 대한 중국-한국 조사위원회는 노국장에 따르면, 아마도 다음 달까지는 결론을 내릴 것 같다. 그러나 한국은 논의의 추가 진전을 보류하려 시도하고 있다. 노국장은 이대통령이 “그 같은 조사에 바탕을 두고” 우리는 그 같은 FTA의 가능성을 좀 더 탐색하게 될 것이라고 말하는 선에서 뭔가를 얘기할 것이라고 언급했다. 노국장은 중국과 일본은 한국과 FTA를 추구하는데 있어 “매우 적극적”이라고 말했다. 한중 경제협력에 대한 관심을 불러일으키기 위해 이대통령은 칭타오로 이동할 것이다. 이 곳에서는 10만 명의 한국인들이 공장과 업체를 운영하고 있다. (한국과 중국의 양국 무역 규모는 2007년 미화 1450억 달러에 이르렀다. 이는 2003년의 2배 이상으로, 당시에는 한중 무역 규모와 한미 무역 규모가 비슷했다. )
¶5. (C) The Chinese will press President Lee to launch negotiations on a PRC-ROK FTA, predicted Noh, but the Korean response will be to defer the issue to a later time. A joint
PRC-ROK research commission on the feasibility of such an FTA would likely reach its conclusions by next month, according to Noh, but the ROK is attempting to put further developments on hold. Noh mentioned that President Lee would say something along the lines of, “On the basis of such research (of the joint commission), we will explore the ossibility of such an FTA further.” Noh mentioned that China and Japan were “very aggressive” in pursuing FTAs with the ROK. To call attention to ROK-China economic ties, President Lee will travel to Qingdao, where 100,000 South Koreans operate factories and businesses. (Note: ROK-China two-way trade volume reached USD 145 billion in 2007, more than double its level in 2003, when ROK-China and ROK-U.S. trade volume was about equal. END NOTE.)

Other Bilateral Issues
다른 쌍무 문제들
이대통령의 중국 방문 기간 동안, 한국은 중국 우한에 영사관을 개설한다고 발표할 예정이다. 그리고 중국측은 후주석이 한국을 방문할 때 중국 광주의 영사관을 총영사관으로 격상시켜 달라고 요청할 것이다.
¶6. (C) During President Lee's visit, the ROK will announce the opening of a Korean consulate general in Wuhan, and expect that the Chinese will ask to upgrade their consulate in Gwangju to a consulate general when President Hu visits the ROK, said Noh.
노국장은 이대통령이 하나의 중국 정책에 대한 약속을 계속할 것이라고 확인해줄 것이며, 8월 8일 베이징 올림픽 개막식 참석을 약속할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 이대통령은 후진타오 주석이 7월 G8 정상회담으로 가는 길에 서울을 방문해달라고 초청할 계획이다. 이대통령은 고구려 문제에 대해 중국측에 “냉정을 유지해야 한다”고 경고할 예정이다. 고구려 문제는 현재로서는 “뜨거운” 이슈는 아니다. 양국 지도자들은 대량살상무기와 하이테크 범죄, 지구 온난화, 국제 테러, 금융 범죄 등을 다루는데 있어 더욱 협력하자는데 동의할 것이다. 그러나 이들 문제는 구체화하지는 않을 것으로 예상되고 있다.
¶7. (C) Noh further added that President Lee will confirm Korea's continued commitment to the One China Policy and will promise to attend the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony on
August 8. President Lee will also invite Hu Jintao to visit Seoul on his way to the G8 Summit in July. President Lee will warn the Chinese to “keep it cool” on the Goguryeo issue, which was not currently a “hot” issue. The two leaders will agree to further cooperation in dealing with weapons of mass destruction, high-tech crime, global warming, international terrorism, and financial crimes, but are not expected to go into these issues in any detail.
Draft Joint Statement
초안 공동 성명서
노국장은 중국이 제안한 공동성명서 초안을 제공했다. 아래는 초안으로 한국의 동료들이 이에 대해 약간의 수정만 할 것으로 예상된다고 말했다.
¶8. (C) Noh provided poloffs with China's suggested draft for a joint statement, below, saying that he expected his ROKG colleagues to suggest only minor changes to it:
