Seoul, April 13 (IANS) Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul will travel to Vietnam this week for an international meeting on sustainable development, officials said on Sunday.
The foreign ministry said Cho will be in Hanoi from Tuesday to Thursday for the P4G Summit, reports Yonhap news agency.
P4G stands for Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030, a multilateral initiative to promote efforts to build sustainable economies. At the fourth edition of the P4G meeting, Cho will emphasise the importance of the global alliance to respond to climate change and also highlight South Korea’s efforts to combat climate change.
During his visit, Cho will also meet with his Vietnamese counterpart, Bui Thanh Son, for the second round of the bilateral dialogue between the two countries’ top diplomats.
South Korea hosted the first such meeting in May 2024. The foreign ministerial talks were created following the South Korea-Vietnam summit in Hanoi in June 2023.
Meanwhile, Volatility in South Korea’s foreign exchange market surged to its highest level last week since the country extended trading hours for the won–U.S. dollar market, data showed on Sunday.
