S. Korea's top diplomat discusses ties with German, Polish counterparts

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met separately with his German and Polish counterparts at a Group of 20 (G20) meeting in Atlanta to explore ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation, according to a statement from his office on Saturday. On Friday, Cho met with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and expressed optimism about enhancing ties with Germany across various sectors, including defense, the economy, and emerging industries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.

In gratitude for Seoul's preparation for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's recent visit to Korea, Wadephul pledged further collaboration in bilateral trade and investment.

Cho also met with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and advocated for continued dialogue on cooperation in defense and battery technologies, following up on Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's visit to Korea in April. Sikorski likewise emphasized Korea's support for Warsaw's aspirations to join the G20, and Cho proposed ongoing consultations on this matter.
