South Korea Fails to Recognize Its Capacity to Shape the Indo-Pacific

South Korea was one of four countries, along with Australia, India, and South Africa, invited to observe the recent G-7 meeting in Cornwall. Australia and India’s historical links with the U.K. and close relations with the U.S. and Japan no doubt secured their invitations. South Korea’s inclusion in the meeting makes sense given that it is a fellow democracy, U.S. treaty ally, and consequential player in the Indo-Pacific. More fundamentally however, the invitation to President Moon Jae-in seeks to draw Seoul out from the Korean Peninsula and encourage it to play a more active role in promoting shared liberal and democratic interests in the Indo-Pacific.
