Spokesperson and Deputy Minister for Public Relations Noh Kyu-duk

January 3, 2019  14:30  KST

Good afternoon. Let me start today’s briefing.

Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will hold a working luncheon with Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom Mark Field on January 4.

Minister Field’s visit to the Republic of Korea comes ahead of the UK Parliament’s vote on the draft Brexit agreement, which is scheduled for mid-January. During the visit, the two sides will exchange a wide range of views on ways for post-Brexit ROK-UK cooperation as well as regional and global issues, including those concerning the Korean Peninsula.

Thank you.
