A statement issued by the Ministry of Commerce said that the minister, who is on a two-day official visit to South Korea, had back-to-back meetings with chairmen and presidents of Korean trade organisations and Korean conglomerates. The minister also met delegates of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other industry officials.
