Good afternoon. Let me start today’s briefing.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Kang, Kyung-wha, together with Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Heiko Maas, will have the 2nd Republic of Korea-Federal Republic of Germany Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue in Berlin, Germany, on August 10.

Germany is the ROK’s major cooperative partner that is currently holding the presidency of the Council of the European Union and a non-permanent membership at the Security Council. In the upcoming Strategic Dialogue, the two Ministers will exchange views on cooperation on COVID-19 response, substantive cooperation between the two countries as well as major international issues. As such, the Dialogue is expected to serve as an opportunity to step up strategic communication and cooperation between the two countries.
