President Yoon Suk Yeol will send Interior Minister Lee Sang-min as a special envoy to the inauguration of incoming President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, his office said Friday.
Lee will attend the inauguration ceremony in Mexico City on Tuesday and convey Yoon’s congratulations while also delivering a letter from him expressing his wish to closely cooperate to further strengthen bilateral ties, according to the presidential office.
While in Mexico, Lee will meet with senior Mexican officials in his capacity as a special envoy and separately hold meetings with South Korean nationals and business officials based there.
Mexico was the first Latin American nation to establish a strategic partnership with South Korea in 2005, and remains South Korea’s largest trading partner in the region, according to the presidential office.
