Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met today (October 14) with Adut Salva Kiir Mayardit, special presidential envoy of South Sudan, and exchanged views on development cooperation and regional affairs.
Special Envoy Kiir, the eldest daughter of South Sudanese President Salva Kiir, delivered a personal letter from her father addressed to President Lee Jae-myung.
She spoke highly of the South Korean government's development cooperation assistance and the Hanbit Unit's contributions to the reconstruction of South Sudan and the development of local communities.
Minister Cho requested the South Sudanese government's continued attention and cooperation to ensure that Hanbit Unit service members and South Korean nationals residing in the country can carry out their activities safely.
As part of the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (PKO), the Hanbit Unit has been deployed to South Sudan since 2013, contributing to the establishment of social infrastructure such as the maintenance and repair of roads and runways.
