FRANKFURT — President Lee Jae Myung said Sunday that many Korean companies are actively operating in Frankfurt and the broader Hesse region of Germany, stressing the Korean community's role in serving as a bridge between the two countries.
The Korean president made the remarks at a meeting with members of the Korean community in Germany at a hotel in Frankfurt, where he made a brief stop on his way home after visiting San Francisco and three South American countries.
"Today, many of our companies are operating across Frankfurt and Hesse," Lee said.
Across Europe, Korean companies are also "proving their competitiveness" in industries ranging from automobiles and electronics to finance, logistics and other advanced technologies, the president emphasized.
