몽골의 인도-태평양 전략 동참 및 몽ㆍ한ㆍ미 자원협력 필요성

Mongolia's Participation in the Indo-Pacific Strategy and the Need for Mongolia-Korea-US Resource Cooperation

Mongolia has traditionally implemented a foreign policy that strengthens relations with third-neighbors while maintaining a balance between the two powers, Russia and China. Amid the changes in international politics and economic order in the 21st century, the Indo-Pacific strategy has become an important framework for major countries to expand their regional influence. In this context, Mongolia is also seeking new opportunities due to its unique geopolitical location and abundant resources. As a result, the reason and possibility of Mongolia's participation in the Indo-Pacific strategy are drawing attention. As a result of analyzing the reasons why Mongolia wants to participate in the Indo-Pacific strategy in various ways, it can be helpful for Mongolia to join the Indo-Pacific strategy promoted by the United States and South Korea to pursue economic diversification and autonomy in international relations. Through economic cooperation with Korea, Mongolia can explore opportunities for cooperation in various fields such as new technology, energy, and infrastructure. In particular, when Mongolia's resource industry and Korea's technology are combined, mutual synergy can be created. Mongolia's participation in the Indo-Pacific strategy can help promote economic diversification, reduce its dependence on China and Russia, and strengthen economic and diplomatic autonomy through cooperation with the United States, Korea, and ASEAN countries. It is believed that this will contribute to the establishment of an independent and balanced foreign policy on the international stage, along with Mongolia's long-term economic stability.
