최근 들어 러시아와의 군사협력을
가시화하고 있는 북한이 이번엔 북중간
밀착관계를 과시했습니다
지난 24일 일용남 주중 북한대사
명예의 입장을 내고 하나의
중국원칙지지 입장을 밝힌 겁니다
이 대사는 미국이 중국의 내정인
타이완 문제의 간섭하고 있다고 비난한
뒤 하나의 중국 원칙을 지지한다고
강조했습니다
주중 북한 대사가 중국의 특정 사안에
대해 공개적으로
지지입장을 낸 건 매우 이례적인
일입니다
중국의 주제하고 있는 특면 정권
대사까지 내세워서 하나의 중국을
지지하는 입장을 보이고 있다는 것은
그만큼 중국 또는 러시아와의 협력이
절실하다는 상황을 지금 보여주고 있는
것이고
이런 가운데 지난달 북한의 이른바
전승절 행사를 계기로 재개된 중국과의
인적 교류 역시 활발해지는
분위기입니다
지난 22일엔 중국과의 하늘길도
열었습니다
북한 국영 고려항공역에 끼는 당시
중국 베이징을 왕복하며 코로나19
확산으로 중단됐던
평양 베이직 노선을 3년 7개월 만에
재개했습니다
북한이 육로 개방을 본격적으로
준비하는 정황도 포착되고 있는 가운데
북한 선수단은 다음 달 중국
항저우에서 열리는 아시안 게임의
출전할 예정입니다
시너지의 과거의 볼 수 없었던
현대식 건물들이 많이 들어서고 있는
점을 볼 때
북한이 그동안 서서히 개방을 준비하고
있었다는 걸 알 수가 있겠고요
북한 선수단의 항저우 아시안게임
참가를 계기로 해서 더욱더 인적
교류가 북중간에 활성화될 것으로
일각에선 김정은 북한 국무위원장의
여동생인 김여정 노동당 부부장이
특사자격으로 중국을 방문할 가능성까지
거론되는 등
북한은 이번 대회를 중국과의 밀착
계기로 활용할 전망입니다
