외교안보 조정 역할 주문에 "장관들 자주 만나 협의할 것"

(서울=연합뉴스) 이상현 기자 = 한성숙 국무총리는 5일 미국 민주당이 중간선거에서 상·하원 다수 의석을 확보한 것과 관련 "한미 양국 간 동맹관계는 민주당도, 공화당도 양쪽 다 중요하게 해왔기 때문에 (미국과) 한국과 관계에 있어서 아주 큰 변화는 없을 것이라고 본다"고 말했다.

한 총리는 이날 국회 예산결산특별위원회 종합정책질의에서 더불어민주당 이기헌 의원이 중간선거 결과를 어떻게 평가하냐고 묻자 "예상보다 민주당의 승리가 굉장히 강력했다"며 이같이 답했다.

이어 향후 대미 외교 전략에 대해서는 "항목 하나하나 별로 세부적으로 분석하고 더 대응해야 할 부분은 있다"며 "별도로 대응 체계를 가지고 부처별로 검토해야 할 사항은 진행하고 있다"고 설명했다.

한 총리는 또 이 의원이 외교안보 부처 사이 충돌이 있을 때의 조율 역할을 주문하자 "말씀주신 부분이 굉장히 중요하다"며 "관계부처 장관들을 좀 더 자주 만나서 (의견을) 듣고 같이 협의하는 자리를 많이 갖도록 하겠다"고 답했다.

이어 "지금 우리가 어디로 갈지 예측하기 너무 어려운 상황 속에 있다는 생각"이라며 "북한(문제)과 미국 (중간)선거 이후 (상황), APEC(아시아태평양경제협력체)에서의 회담 이후 반응들 이런 부분을 잘 살펴보겠다"고 덧붙였다.

[US midterm elections] Will a tsunami hit US-Israel relations?

Analysis suggests that the Democratic Party's landslide victory in the U.S. midterm elections will bring major changes in the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. The British Guardian diagnosed this result as a rebuke to President Trump's political style and policy toward Israel. Pro-Palestinian candidates defeated pro-Israel candidates everywhere, and Michigan had its first Muslim federal senator. It is expected that the new Congress will be able to push for a ban on Israeli arms exports and sanctions on settlers.
