Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin had his first virtual conversation with State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Wang Yi since his inauguration on May 16. They exchanged views on issues of mutual interest, including Korea-China relations, issues on the Korean Peninsula, and regional and global affairs. Foreign Minister Park mentioned that, for the vision of building a “global pivotal state that contributes to freedom, peace and prosperity,” the Korean government would seek to carry out common value- and interest-based diplomacy, and hoped to develop Korea-China relations in a healthy, mature and future-oriented way based on the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation, as the two countries celebrate their 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year.
