Join us for an exceptional luncheon on 12 July with the new Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Park Jin, jointly organized by KGCCI, ACF and FKCCI!
Historically, foreign policy has always been of primary importance to Korea. As Korea has become a global trade hub and a technological powerhouse, the country has adjusted its international strategy. Korea has started to take a more important role on the global scene, such as taking part in the CPTPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) or the recent participation of President Yoon Suk-yeol at the NATO summit. With the new administration, we may expect new directions in key aspects of the Korean foreign policy including a stronger stance on North Korea, and the reinforcement of strategic relation with Europe, the US, China and Japan.
This luncheon will be a unique occasion for members of our European business community exchange with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on key topics of the Korean foreign policy, with a focus on the future of relations between Europe and in the region.
