South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun urged business groups in South Korea and Japan to help expand exchanges between young people. He delivered the message in remarks for a welcome dinner on October 22, held ahead of the 33rd Korea-Japan Business Conference. Second Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Kim Jina read the remarks on his behalf.
The conference is jointly organized by the Federation of Korean Industries and the Japan Business Federation. Established in 1982, it is a private-sector channel for senior business leaders to discuss friendship and economic cooperation between the two countries. This year’s meeting is scheduled for October 23 at FKI Tower under the theme “The Opening of a New 60 Years: A New Horizon for Korea-Japan Economic Cooperation.”
Cho said relations had settled onto a stable path of development following the launch of the Lee Jae Myung administration, supported by active shuttle diplomacy. He cited progress in practical cooperation on supply chains, economic security, energy and resources, advanced industries, science and technology.
