面对“为何首访中国选择内陆城市重庆”这一问题时,郑烘原说,“重庆是中国内陆唯一的直辖市,位于连接中国中南部与东部的重点地区,只要交通、物流、基础设施等条件完备,就能成为接近‘3亿人口’中国内陆市场的桥头堡。尤其是作为中国政府全力推进西部大开发的‘火车头’,韩国企业更加关注重庆的发展潜力。”听闻最近现代汽车决定在重庆建设第四工厂,郑烘原告诉记者,这正是韩国企业关注重庆的好例子。在重庆访问的短短几天,走在重庆市区,郑烘原充分感受到了重庆的发展状况及潜力。
“考虑到重庆的发展潜力,扩大双边经济合作的余地还很大。”2013年,韩国与重庆之间的贸易额约为17亿美元, 仅占韩中贸易总额的0.7%,韩国对重庆累计投资额为3.5亿美元,仅占韩国对华累计投资的0.6%左右。因此韩国政府将为更多韩国企业打入重庆市场予以支持。
在回答记者关于进军重庆的韩国产业的问题时,郑烘原称,“据我所知,通用、大众、日产等很多全球著名汽车公司已经进军重庆,重庆已跃升为国际品牌的生产重地。若以这次现代汽车公司打入重庆为起点,汽车零件、制造装备、信息技术等相关产业同步进军,对双方发展汽车生产合作很有前途。
不仅如此,郑烘原总理还不忘提到韩剧在中国的轰动效应,“通过此次访问,我得知《来自星星的你》等韩国电视剧在重庆很受欢迎。只要以这样的韩流为基础,拉近与重庆等中国西南经济圈消费者的距离,就有望进入服饰、美容、食品和文化内容等消费材料以及物流、运输等产业市场。另一方面,若重庆各行业向韩国积极介绍宣传该地区的发展前景、吸引投资方面的优点,在上述领域就能够扩大互惠共赢的经济合作。”
在与记者谈到中韩文化交流时,郑烘原表示,韩中建交以来,两国人员交流大幅增加,去年共有370万韩国人访问中国,有933万中国人来韩国。韩国政府相信,两国人员来往活跃为两国发展友好关系奠定了良好基础。
韩国政府以“文化兴盛”为国政基调,正积极培育旅游产业,以此密切关注在华宣传赴韩旅游并做出不断的努力,让更多中国人来到韩国旅游。特别是2012年12月韩国首次在成都设立了韩国观光公社的分社后,更是为重庆和成都等中国西部及内陆地区树立个性化战略加强了宣传。
对于赴韩留学,郑烘原说:“韩国政府认为,优秀的中国学生赴韩留学有助于韩国的发展和韩中关系的长期发展,因此韩国政府将通过在中国举办韩国留学博览会等方式极力宣传赴韩留学。据了解,多数的韩国大学都会参加每年在重庆开办的留学博览会,我希望更多重庆的优秀人才来到韩国留学。”
