From Europe and India to Canada and Australia, President Lee Jae-myung has deployed 14 personal emissaries in a bid to redefine global ties
Within a week, additional envoys were appointed to Canada and Malaysia, according to the Yonhap news agency.
The diplomatic surge is set to continue, with further envoys to be dispatched to Poland, Vietnam, Australia and Germany by the turn of the month, carrying personal letters from Lee and tasked with exploring avenues for deeper cooperation.
In total, 14 envoys – more than under any previous government – will be sent abroad to articulate the administration’s foreign policy vision and state philosophy, South Korean media reported.
“This is to inform the world of the restoration of normal diplomacy of a democratic Korea,” the presidential office said.
