欧盟与朝鲜建交的缘起.

The establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the EU and DPRK in May 2001 was an important event in the history of international diplomacy. There are four main reasons for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the EU and DPRK. First, the accelerated development of political and economic globalization after the end of the Cold War has forced the EU and DPRK to develop bilateral relations. Second, the political and economic ties of the EU with ROK require it to develop its relations with DPRK. Third, EU food and humanitarian aid has strengthened its ties with DPRK. Forth, it is the need for further economic and political development between the EU and ROK. After the establishment of diplomatic relations, the EU and DPRK have reached cooperation intentions in many fields. However, the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue in the following year seriously hindered the development of bilateral relations and cast a shadow over the development of bilateral relations in the future.
