한불 정상회담, 미래 향한 새 지평 연다 We start in Paris,... where President Park Geun-hye is set for summit talks with French President Francois Hollande. South Korea and France are celebrating the one-hundred-30th anniversary of bilateral ties,... but the leaders also have plenty of important topics to discuss at this time of economic uncertainty and security fears. Our presidential office correspondent Song Ji-sun reports from Paris. A stepping stone for greater economic cooperation in the future. That is how South Korea will approach Friday's summit talks between President Park Geun-hye and her French counterpart Francois Hollande. Seoul is keen to guide the vision of a comprehensive partnership for the 21st century, sealing stronger ties for mutual growth in the years to come. "The most notable aspect of this summit is that South Korea and France have established an optimal partnership for the creative economy and cultural prosperity, which will be a foothold to foster future growth engines." Seoul and Paris will co-produce broadcast and cultural contents,... and enhance cooperation in bio-, ICT, energy and nano technologies through joint research and projects. To shore up trade and investments, the two sides will set up more communication channels and tighten the implementation of Korea-EU free trade deal, which came into effect five years ago. Seoul will also request permanent membership of the 20-member Paris Club, an informal group of creditor countries that provide debt treatments to debtor countries. This would be a notable achievement since South Korea found itself buried in debt following the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s. North Korea will be another major agenda as France, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a leading EU member,... is a vocal opponent of a nuclear-armed North Korea. Global issues like climate change will also be discussed... in line with the UN Climate conference held in Paris late last year. "From her creative economy drive to pressuring North Korea,... President Park will set a new vision of economic and security cooperation at summit talks Friday, ahead of the 130 year anniversary of diplomatic ties on Saturday. Song Ji-sun, Arirang News, Paris."
