Good afternoon. Let me start today’s briefing.

Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will attend the regional conference of the Council of Councils (COC), a think tank, to take place in Seoul on October 7.

The forthcoming event will be co-hosted by the East Asia Institute of the Republic of Korea and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) of the United States, and bring together heads of some 30 policy think tanks of 20-odd countries in the fields of international diplomacy and security.

Vice Minister Cho will join the symposium to be chaired by CFR President Richard Haass, during which the senior diplomat will exchange views with the other participants on the current situation on the Korean Peninsula, etc.

Thank you.
