Shanmugam hails Singapore's strong ties with S.Korea
By Lim Yun Suk | Posted: 07 June 2012 1941 hrs
SEOUL: Singapore's Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam said the republic's strong ties with South Korea are marked by warm relationships between the two countries' political leaders.

He said this at a meeting with South Korean Prime Minister Kim Hwang Sik in Seoul.

With Singapore being one of South Korea's top 10 trading partners, trade topped the discussions.

Mr Kim noted that the two sides share a positive trading and economic relationship.

Mr Shanmugam is set to meet his South Korean counterpart Kim Sung Hwan and other prominent Korean personalities in the fields of politics, media, and business on June 8.

This is Mr Shanmugam's first trip to South Korea.

He earlier visited the truce village of Panmunjom in the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas.

Mr Shanmugam said: "It's a pleasure to be here and see first-hand the very impressive city of Seoul, and a little bit of Korea, because we have read about it. But to know all of this has taken place really in one generation is truly impressive."
