On November 10, South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met with his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot in Paris, discussing bilateral ties and global issues like the Ukraine war, according to Seoul's foreign ministry. The talks occurred on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers' meeting, marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations, which were recently upgraded to a strategic partnership.
Cho and Barrot agreed to boost practical cooperation across various sectors, including high-tech industries. Cho also urged France to maintain its support for Korean businesses operating in Europe. The G7 ministerial meeting, the second of the year, is being held in Marseille, southern France, from November 10-11. The summit is anticipated to tackle major global concerns, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Middle Eastern developments, following the G7 leaders' summit in June, as reported by the ministry.
