We are delighted to invite you to a Joint Special Reception with H.E. Han Seongsook, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea, hosted by the Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KGCCI) and the French-Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI).
Bringing together representatives from the Korean government as well as the German and French business communities, the reception will provide a platform for an open exchange on Korea's economic outlook and the conditions for international companies operating and investing in the country.
Prime Minister Han Seong-sook will address the audience and provide insights into the government's current economic priorities and its approach to strengthening Korea's competitiveness and investment environment.
