Deputy Foreign Minister Chung Byung-won met with a senior Chinese official of Gansu Province on Wednesday and discussed efforts to boost the two-way partnership in minerals and other areas, officials said.
Chung exchanged opinions on ways for deeper cooperation in the meeting with Shi Moujun, deputy secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, the foreign ministry said in a release.
Shi is visiting South Korea this week for meetings with South Korean officials and to attend bilateral trade events. Shi is the first senior party official of the north-central Chinese province to visit Korea.
In Wednesday’s meeting, Chung expressed hope that South Korea’s partnership with Gansu Province will further develop, as the municipal-level cooperation has more potential since it allows for more policy flexibility compared with the central government.
