  "summary": "Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is scheduled to travel to Nepal on September 5 to meet with his Nepali counterpart and discuss Seoul's support for search-and-rescue efforts following devastating floods in Nepal. The three-day visit, which will conclude on Monday, will include talks with Nepalese Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal and meetings with the families of the missing South Koreans. Nine Koreans, comprising six employees of Doosan Enerbility Co. and three from Korea South-East Power Co., went missing on August 26 while working at a hydropower plant construction site near the Nepal-Tibet border. Cho is expected to seek Nepal's assistance in facilitating and intensifying search efforts and discuss recovery measures for the affected areas. The Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT), deployed to support search-and-rescue operations, is working alongside Nepalese authorities and corporate response teams using various equipment to search for the missing individuals. Following his visit to Nepal, Cho will travel directly to France to attend President Lee Jae Myung's state visit. As of Wednesday, over 1,200 people had been killed, and nearly 6,000 remained missing, according to foreign media reports.",
