We sincerely welcome the visit to the Republic of Korea by Chancellor Friedrich Merz of the Federal Republic of Germany.
I hope that our citizens will also warmly welcome Chancellor Merz, who will arrive tomorrow.
The Republic of Korea and the Federal Republic of Germany are precious partners that have cooperated in various fields such as the economy, industry, science and technology, based on long-standing friendship and mutual trust.
I expect that this visit will serve as an opportunity to further deepen the friendship and cooperation between our two countries and to open together the path to common prosperity and a better future.
