South Korea to Send Special Envoy Yang Kyung-sook to Costa Rica President’s Inauguration

The government will dispatch former lawmaker Yang Kyung-sook as President Lee Jae-myung’s special envoy to the inauguration of Costa Rican President Laura Fernandez on May 8.
 
According to a written briefing issued Tuesday by senior Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Kang Yoo-jung, Yang plans to meet with Fernandez to explain the Lee administration’s governing philosophy and foreign policy and to deliver Lee’s message on developing ties with the new Costa Rican government, along with a presidential letter.
 
Kang said Yang will attend inauguration-related events, including a reception hosted by Costa Rica’s foreign minister and an inaugural reception hosted by the incoming president. Kang said Yang will also convey the Lee government’s intent to strengthen practical cooperation in areas such as the economy, infrastructure and education.
