Gyorin describes a foreign policy. It is about Korea's plans for establishing and maintaining good relations with neighboring countries.[2]
History
The long-term, strategic gyorin policy played out in diplomacy and trade dealings with Jurchen, Japan, the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Siam and others.[3]
Gyorin was applied to a multi-national foreign policy.[4]
Diplomatic relations with China established a context. At the same time, there were many gyorin contacts which developed independently between Korea and other nations,[5] including
- Diplomatic missions form the Ryūkyū Kingdom which were received by Taejo of Joseon in 1392, 1394 and 1397.
- Diplomatic missions from Siam which were received in Taejo's court in 1393.[6]
