Welcome letter by Mr. Rhee Han Woo, new Editorial board member Dankook Unviversity, Korea.
About international cooperation between North Korea and Russia in the Arctic and the role of business in integration process.
The ocean currents heated at the equator cools in the Arctic and form currents that return to the equator, which control the climate of all continents. The Arctic, humanity’s ice storage, is awaiting more expert research and more benign investors’ sustainable investment.
A new route between Europe and Northeast Asia, which has long been blocked by glaciers, is being opened in the Arctic, and South Korea and Russia are becoming countries that enjoy the benefits themselves. Natural gas, oil and gold buried in the Arctic will be developed in an environmentally friendly manner to contribute to the sustainable
development of the countries involved.
It is a great personal honor to be part of this journal, which shares the deep research and academic achievements of experts from Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Physiology (Medical), Mechanical Engineering, Energy, Earth and Planetary Sciences to realize this close future.
I am working on bilateral multilateral international cooperation at my workplace, the Korea Energy Agency. The conclusion I have gained from doing this is that partners of cooperation need a deep understanding of each other and that business must be based in order for that cooperative relationship to continue.
As an expert in international relations, I would like to study what the Arctic region means to South Korea and Russia,
how effective it is for the two countries to cooperate, how global cooperation should be and what kind of business there should be to sustain that cooperation, and exchange views with other experts.
Wishing for the development of the Russian Arctic, and the grace of God to all the experts who work together.
February, 7
Rhee Han Woo
