South Korean National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik and Italian Chamber of Deputies President Lorenzo Fontana met in Seoul to discuss strengthening parliamentary cooperation, including the recognition of South Korean driver's licenses in Italy. Cho highlighted the significance of this visit, which marks the first by an Italian Chamber of Deputies president to South Korea's National Assembly in 26 years, as an opportunity to advance bilateral relations and parliamentary exchanges.
This meeting occurred a month after Cho visited Rome, where he also met with Fontana to advocate for cooperation on mutual recognition of tour guide qualifications and the acceptance of South Korean-issued driver's licenses in Italy. Fontana informed that consultations with Italy's transport ministry have been concluded, and efforts are underway to establish a bilateral agreement to address the driver's license issue.
Discussions with Italy's culture and tourism ministry on the matter of Korean tour guides have also been finalized. Fontana assured that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure that Korean tourists can access tour guide services in Italy without any difficulties.
