Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is set to pay an official visit to South Korea on June 4 as the two countries seek to deepen their strategic partnership and expand cooperation in trade, technology, defense and regional security, Foreign Ministry sources said.
During the visit, Fidan is expected to hold talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and deliver a speech at a conference hosted by Korea University.
According to ministry sources, discussions will focus on strengthening bilateral ties and exploring new areas of cooperation between the two countries, whose relationship was elevated to the level of a strategic partnership in 2012.
Fidan is expected to underline the shared commitment of Ankara and Seoul to further deepen political and economic relations. The talks are also expected to address ways to increase trade and investment between the two countries.
