SEOUL, January 20 (AJP) - Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will visit Turkey and Belgium later this week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.
"Cho will travel to Turkey on Wednesday for talks with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan," the ministry's deputy spokesperson Lee Moon-bae, said during a press briefing in Seoul.
The meeting is part of follow-up steps after President Lee Jae Myung's state visit to Turkey in November last year. Cho is expected to discuss progress on key bilateral projects in nuclear energy, defense, biotechnology, and infrastructure.
Cho will then head to Belgium the following day for talks with Kaja Kallas, vice president of the European Commission. The two sides are expected to discuss key regional issues including Greenland, which has drawn international attention following U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated pressure over the Danish territory.
Cho is also scheduled to meet with Belgian Deputy Prime Minister David Clarinval. The two are expected to discuss ways to expand cooperation and exchanges to mark the 125th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries this year.
