Abstract
The paper discloses and deeply analysis a lot of details on the actions and measures taken by the Republic of Korea and Romania “behind the scenes” and which were kept unknown to Public at large for more than three decades. The first ideas and steps aiming at establishing at least some contacts and relationship with Romania belonged to the South Korean authorities and they were initiated in the early years of the ‘60th. Particularly interesting and ingenious are not only the manner, but also the perseverance and patience the South Korean authorities proved in order to achieve their purpose. The readers have the possibility to discover the genuine and the delicate position of the Communist Romania towards the “capitalist” Republic of Korea and “communist” Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and also how this position changed: from a total rejection of the contacts with the Republic of Korea, before 1970, to a position of concern and interest, but not accomplished one (1970-1989), and later, from 1989 on, to a position to establish and develop friendly relationship and overall cooperation with the Republic of Korea. The paper introduces, both on North and South Korea, some information, received from the well-informed Romanian and foreign diplomatic channels, on the true political, economical and social realities representing the facts and things as they really were. As such an information was favouring the South Korean authorities, the Romanian high rank Goverment officials, could not but, by degrees, to take it into consideration. So, they steadily adopted a much more favorable attitude towards the Republic of Korea and lately, they reach the decision to establish diplomatic relation with this country on March 30th, 1990.
