특별기고 - Special Contribution

평화와 번 의 한해가 되길.... Wish You a Year of Peace and Prosperity

안녕하십니까? 벌써 한 해가 지나고 새해가 되었습니다. 올해는 동양의 12간지에 의하면 토끼의 해가

됩니다. 토끼는예로부터지혜와다산(多産), 풍요와화목을상징해주는것으로알려지고있습니다. 올해는 NEAR회원단체 여러분들이 슬기롭게 위기를 극복하고 더욱 풍요로운발전을 이룩하여 동북아의 평화와 번 의 기틀을 굳건히 놓을 수 있는 한 해가 되기를 기원합니다. 지난해에는 연합의 제8차 총회와“2010 NEAR 국제경제포럼”을 비롯한 연합의 모든

행사를성공적으로마칠수있었습니다. 이것은오로지사무국에보내주신회원단체여러분들의 적극적인 지지와 협조의 덕분으로 깊이 감사를 드립니다. 올해에도“NEAR 실무자 워크숍”(5월)을 시작으로중국 닝샤후이족자치구에서실무위원회(7월)가 열리고, 별도로 11개 분과위원회의행사들이일년내내연이어개최될예정으로있습니다. 사무국에선2007년부터 매년 개최해온“NEAR 국제경제포럼”을 올해에는 오는 9월 'NEAR-AER세계포럼'으로 확대하여 개최할 예정입니다. 유럽자치단체회의(AER, Assembly ofEuropean Regions)는 유럽 33개국 270개 지방정부가 가입되어 있는 유럽을 대표하는국제기구입니다. 이의 준비를 위해 작년 11월 터키 이스탄불에서 개최된 AER 25주년 기념총회에참석, 미셸샤방 (Michele Sabban) 의장과클라우스클립 (Klaus Klipp) 사무총장을 만나 회의의 의제도 이미 확정하 습니다. “NEAR-AER 공동 세계포럼”은 새롭게 유럽과 아시아를 잇는 지구상의 New Millenium Silkroad로서의 역할을 하게 될 것입니다.이제 연합은 동북아지역에서가장 향력 있는 국제기구로 성장하 으며, 다양한 국제

기구들과 협력 네트워크를 구축할 수 있게 되었습니다. UN 아시아 태평양 경제사회위원회(UNESCAP), 유엔개발기구(UNDP-GTI), 아시아 태평양 관광협의체 (PATA), 아시아· 태평양 네트워크 (APN), 유럽자치단체회의(AER) 등 아시아 태평양 지역의 국제기구뿐만아니라유럽에있는국제기구와도협력네트워크를구축하게되었습니다.연합의 회원단체들도 설립 당시 4개국 29개 회원단체에서 6개국 70개 회원단체로 확

대되었으며, 5개옵저버단체를포함하면모두 75개단체가됩니다. 앞으로준회원제도가적극적으로 실시되게 되면 NEAR의 범위는 중앙아시아지역까지 넓혀져 나갈 것입니다.또한 연합의 산하에는 경제통상에서 여성 아동에 이르기까지 11개 분과위원회가 설치되어 있으며, 앞으로 보건 위생과 식품·식량분과위원회가 추가로 신설되면 회원단체들이관심을갖는분야를거의망라할수있게됩니다.무엇보다지난해에는연합설립이후연합의산역사가되는『NEAR 백서』를 6개국어

(중국어, 일본어, 한국어, 몽골어, 러시아어, 어)로 발간하여 회원단체뿐만 아니라 국제기구를비롯국내외관련기관들에배부할수있었던것은사무국개설이후가장큰보람이아닐수없습니다. 종전과마찬가지로연합의뉴스지인“NEAR News Letter”역시 2개월에 한번씩 6개 국어로 발간하고, 아울러 각종의 다양한 형태의 홍보자료들을 새로이제작, 각계에배포할것입니다.한편 지난 2006년부터 소속 회원단체 국가 단위 별 - 중국, 일본, 몽골, 러시아로부터

매년 1명씩의 직원을 파견 받아 함께 1년씩 순환 근무를 실시, 벌써 5기째가 되었습니다.앞으로점차적으로파견직원수를확대하여사무국의기능과역할을증강해갈것입니다.끝으로 사무국은 동북아에서의 중심적인 국제기구의 위상에 걸맞은「NEAR 메인 센

터」건립을 위해 다방면으로 노력할 것이며, 아울러 동북아번 을 위한 다양한 어젠다의개발및국제협력프로젝트를추진해갈것입니다. 비록 연합의상설사무국이개설된지역사가짧지만이제 국제기구로서의위상을충분

히 갖추게 되었습니다. 다만 이에 걸맞은 최소한의 자율성과 독립성의 확보는 재정의 어려움만큼 큰 숙제로 남아 있습니다. 이제 모든 짐을 내려 놓고 옛 제자리로 돌아 갈까 합니다. 그동안보내주신따뜻한성원과적극적인협력에대해다시한번감사드립니다.

Greetings! The old year has gone and a new one arrived. According to the oriental zodiac, 2011 is

the year of rabbit, which from old times symbolizes wisdom, fecundity, wealth andharmony. I hope this year will serve as a stepping stone for all the NEAR members toachieve a more prosperous development by overcoming the crisis with wisdom and tolay the foundation for peace and prosperity of Northeast Asia.

Last year, all the NEAR events were successfully completed, including the 8th GeneralAssembly and the 2010 NEAR International Economic Forum. I would like to take thisopportunity to thank all the members, since it would not have been possible without yourfull support and cooperation extended to the Secretariat. This year, as usual, the “NEARWorking-Level Workshop” will be held in May, followed by the Working Committee inNingxia Hui Autonomous Region of China in July and the meetings of the 11 Sub-Committees. The NEAR International Economic Forum, an annual event organized bythe Secretariat since 2007, will be held in September in a bigger scale under the title of“NEAR-AER Joint World Forum.” The Assembly of European Region or AER is aninternational organization bringing together over 270 regions from 33 countries acrossEurope. As a preliminary step for partnership, the NEAR Secretariat delegation attendedthe AER General Assembly held last November in Istanbul, Turkey to mark its 25thanniversary, met with AER President Michèle Sabban and Secretary General KlausKlipp to discuss the forum agenda. I believe the “NEAR-AER Joint Forum” willachieve a “ New Milliennium Silk Road” which connects Europe and Asia anew.

NEAR has now grown into one of the most influential international organizations inNortheast Asia in many aspects. First, it has built networks with global institutions notonly in the Asia Pacific, but also Europe. They are:United Nations Economic and SocialCommission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), United Nations DevelopmentProgramme-Greater Tumen Initiative (UNDP-GTI), Pacific Asia Travel Association(PATA), Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research(APN) and the Assembly ofEuropean Region (AER).

Also, the membership was expanded from 29 founding members from four countriesto cover 70 member regions from six countries or 75 member regions with five observersincluded. If the associate membership system is implemented, NEAR will be able toencompass even Central Asia. Furthermore, if Sub-Committees on Health, Hygiene andFood are added to the existing 11 Sub-Committees under NEAR's umbrella which nowranges from Economy & Trade to Women & Children, NEAR will be able to coveralmost every field of the members' interest.

Meanwhile, as one of the most important achievements since its inception, theSecretariat finally put together the 1st edition of the White Paper, the record of every steptaken by NEAR. It was published in six languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean,Mongolian, Russianand English) and distributed to member regions and relevantorganizations in and out of Korea. In 2011, as previous years, the bi-monthly magazine‘NEAR News Letter’ as well as PR materials in various forms will be published in sixlanguages and distributed.

Every year since 2006, one official for each NEAR member country (China, Japan,Mongolia and Russia) has been seconded to the Secretariat to stay in Korea for a year.The Secretariat plans to increase the number of seconded staffs in order to increase itsrole and function.

Finally, the Secretariat is making every effort to construct the “NEAR Main Center”befitting NEAR’s status as an international organization. We will continue to do our bestin opening the age of peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia and beyond also bydeveloping new agendas and international cooperation projects.

Even if it has not been long since a standing Secretariat was established, NEAR hastransformed itself into a full-fledged international organizations. However, it still remainsto be done to secure minimum autonomy and independence in operating the Secretariatto the full extent, which is as much difficult task as securing the budget. Now, layingdown the burden, I am going back to where I used to be. Once again, please accept mysincere thanks for your all-out support and cooperation extended for a long time, evenuntil now.

When he was eight, he studied Confucianism andConfucian scriptures and was appointed as “Ogyeongbaksa” (master of Confucianism)at the age of 18.

At the invitation of Japan’s Emperor Ojin, Wangin departed from Sangdaepo, whichat the time was an international trading port, and crossed the Korean Straits to Japan,bringing with him texts of classical Chinese literature as well as top craftsmen to theisland country. The renowned Baekje scholar is well-known for his part in thedevelopment of Japan’s Asuka culture.

기획취재 - Feature Report

기획취재 Feature Report

안녕하십니까 NEAR 회원여러분들! 저는작년 3월25일 한국에 와서 거의 1년동안 사무국에서 근무한 러시아알타이변경주소속안나입니다. 너무나익숙해진이 지면을 통해 여러분에게인사를하게되어기쁩니다.

저는 여러분들과 아름다운나라한국과NEAR 사무

국생활에대한지난1년간의사무국생활에대한추억을나누고자합니다.

- 지난 한 해를 되돌아보며

지난한해는너무빠르게지나간것같습니다. 저는수많은추억, 느낌, 만남그리고새로운지식을접했던순간들을평생잊지못할것입니다. 한국은저에게새로운눈을열어주었습니다. 아시아지역에서처음으로머물 던나라, 태어나서처음으로해수욕을경험해본나라, 그리고처음으로러시아와문화, 풍습, 전통등에서차이를느껴본나라 습니다. 그런데무엇보다한국에서제일뚜렷하고특별한인상을받은것은바로 '사람'입니다. 제가느끼기에한국인들은굉장히친절하고,주의깊고, 관대하고, 손님맞이를좋아하며개방적이었습니다. 이처럼작은나라의괄목할만한잠재력은바로'한국인'인것같습니다.

- 처음 사무국 업무를 접했을 때 소감과 에피소드

많은업무가운데실속있고또배움을통해새로운경험을쌓을수있었던부분은NEAR 소식지를비롯한각종자료, 책자의번역과각지역에관한정보수집업무, 그리고다양한국제포럼이나행사에참가하는것이었습니다.

한국에 와서 제가 처음으로 참가했던 국제행사는 2010년 실무자워크숍이었습니다. 솔직히말하자면그당시무슨말을해야할지어디로가야될지몰라너무긴장했었어요. 실무자워크숍에서저는제고향인알타이변경주를홍보했습니다.저는당시불안감을덜어주고용기를주었던제동료들과사무국전관계자들에게너무나감사했습니다. 바로이행사를시작으로저는동북아의통합과세계평화에기여한다는NEAR의목적을이해하기시작했던것같습니다.

- 한국어를 배우면서

제가한국에온또하나의목적은사무국업무와더불어이나라의풍습과문화를알수있는한국어공부 습니다. 약 1년전만하더라도한국어라는생소한언어로읽고쓴다는것이저에겐전혀불가능했었습니다. 그러나쓰기와읽기능력은아주빠르게습득할수있었어요. 좀더건방지게말하자면쓰기와읽기는아주쉬웠던것같아요. 말하기가좀어려울뿐인데, 가까운시일내에말하기도습득할수있을것같습니다. 저를위해이어렵고특별한언어수업을위해전력으로도움을주셨던사무총장님의부인이신이춘회(李春檜) 선생님께지면을빌어감사의인

사를드립니다. 선생님은제가한국어를배우면서어려움에부딪칠때마다항상넓은이해심으로격려하고도와주셨어요. 한국민족을저에게친근하게느끼도록만들어준한국언어, 풍습그리고문화공부를고향인러시아에돌아가서도계속하고싶어요.

- 한국 여기저기를 다니면서 참 재미있고 만족스러웠어요!

사무국외의한국생활또한즐거웠습니다. 한국은자연이너무아름답고신비로운역사를지녀매력적인관광지이자휴양지에요. 이 곳에머무르는동안원했던만큼많은곳을가보지는못한것이안타깝습니다. 하지만제가다시한국을찾을명목을만들어주네요. 경상북도에서는특히포항시, 경상북도수목원그리고“아름다운경주”라는구호가걸맞은경주시를갔었어요.

- 외국 친구들이 한국에 오면 꼭 가보라고 권하고 싶어요.

경주에서는고대한국의기상대(첨성대)와, 전통불교사원인불국사를보았어요.그곳에서저는‘고대한국’에빠져들수밖에없었습니다. 그리고벚꽃이피는계절이다가오면“100번듣는것보다한번보는것이낫다”라는러시아속담처럼그아름다움을이루말로표현할수가없습니다. 또용인에서는한국민속촌과세계최대규모의놀이동산중한곳인에버랜드를방문했는데너무재미있었습니다.

한국을방문한다면안동시와맛있는사과로유명한문경을꼭가보라고권해드리고싶어요. 또한국에살며수도인서울을가보지않는다는것은스스로용납할수없었기에서울도당연히가봤죠. 서울은그야말로거대한동시에단순하고, 과거와현재가공존하며, 형형색색의아름다움과추억을지니고있는곳이에요.

- NEAR사무국 동료직원들에게 감사하다는 말을 하고 싶어요.

지난해만난저의새로운친구들인아람, 승기, 히시게, 상현, 동커통, 마유미, 봉환, 만봉, 혜정, 희숙그리고다른분들께어려울때이해해주고, 잡아주고, 관심과더불어보여주었던따뜻한환대에감사말을전하고싶습니다. 마치 집인것처럼느낄수있게모두가저를도와주었어요. 개인적으로사무국에서동북아의통합과번 을위해근무할수있게해주고진심어린걱정과도움을아끼지않으셨던이해두사무총장님께감사하단말 을드립니다.

- 끝으로 하고 싶은 얘기는

NEAR사무국에서근무하며, 제역할의중요함그리고그에따른책임감과함께알타이변경주를대표한다는사명감을느끼게되었습니다. 끊임없는도움과지원을아끼지않은알타이변경주행정부의제동료들에게도감사를표하고, 특히보리스라린부지사님께감사를드립니다.

저희알타이지역은따뜻한전통과풍부한문화유산을소유하고있으며, 사회와경제분야에서발전하고있는지역입니다. 손님을따뜻하게맞이하는알타이의땅으로여러분들을초대하고싶습니다.

다시한번사무국동료들에게감사를드리며, 다시만날날을기다리겠습니다!

The Association of North East Asia Regional Governments기획취재 - Feature Report

Dear NEAR friends! My name is Anna, and have worked at the NEARSecretariat for almost a year since being seconded from Altai Territory,Russia on the 25th of March, 2010. I’m glad to greet you through thisvery familiar journal.

On these pages, I’d like to share my life, work and momories in thebeautiful country Korea and the Secretariat of the Association of NorthEast Asia Regional Governments.

Looking Back on Last Year...

The last year has passed so quickly. There are so many impressions,emotions, meetings, acquaintances, perceptions, which will be enough forthe whole life. For me Korea - it’s the country of revelations. This is thefirst Asian country I've ever visited; the country, where I swam in the seafor the first time; the country where I was exposed to different culture,customs and traditions than Russian. And, the most impressive part is“people.” As far as I understand, Korean people are very kind, attentive,tolerant, hospitable and open-hearted. And it is the people, in my opinion,that is the most remarkable asset of this not-so-large country.

About Your Work at the Secretariat and Some Episodes

Among my work duties, I could learn many practical things andaccumulate new experiences especially through translating various booksand materials including the NEAR NEWS articles, searching variousinformation about NEAR regions and, of course, participating ininternational forums and events. The very first of international eventwhere I represented the interest of my region Altai was the NEARWorkshop 2010 in May. Frankly speaking, I was so much worried; Ididn’t know what to say, what to do and where to go. However, mycollegues and superiors gave me enouragments and inspirations whicheased my tension and anxiety. From that Workshop on, I began tounderstand the true goal of NEAR? contributing to the harmony of NorthEast Asia and creating peace in the world.

About Learning Korean Language

One of the purposes why I came to Korea was to learn Korean languageand the custom and culture of this country. Just a year ago I couldn’t evenimagine that I would speak, write and read in an unknown language.However, I learned quickly. It may sound arrogant, but I can now readand write Korean language well. I still have some problem in speaking buthope it will be overcome in time. I would like to take this opportunity tothank my teacher Mrs. Chun-Hoe Lee, the wife of NEAR SecretaryGeneral, for her compassion and efforts to encourage me whenever I wasstruggling with obstacles. I wish to continue to study Korean language,culture and custom in my homeland which brought me closer to theKorean people.

It Was So Much Fun to Visit...

The life out of the office was also very exciting. I think this country isbeautiful in its nature, mysterious in its history and have very attractivetourism and leisure spots. I'm sorry that I couldn't visit so many places as Iwished during my stay. It's fine, too, because this is another excuse tocome back to Korea. In Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, where theSecretariat is located, I managed to see Pohang city, visit the BotanicalGarden of Gyeongsangbuk-do as well as Gyeongju city, whose beautybefits its slogan(“Beautiful Gyeongju”).

The “Must-Visit-Place” You Recommend

In Gyeongju I had an opportunity to see the ancient CheomseongdaeAstronomical Observatory, visited the historical buddhish BulguksaTemple. Being there, you have no choice but to plunge in the ancientKorea times. But when the season of cherry blossom comes - it’simpossible to express the beauty of the city.
