Visit

AMBASSADOR OF SOUTH KOREA IN ARMENIA

Kim Je Sob, ambassador of South Korea to the Russian Federation,
arrived in Yerevan to hand his credentials to Robert Kocharian, RA
President. The delegation he led visited the consulate of Korea. There
they got acquainted with Armen Abrahamian, consul-general of Korea to
Armenia. The ambassador said that they are only starting to establish
relations between Armenia and South Korea. He emphasized the importance
of developing the economic relations between two countries.

RA citizens have to leave for Moscow for departing to Korea and
get their visas confirmed there. This procedure takes too much time
and money. Ambassador Kim Je Sob promised that they will do their
best to solve that issue and make the entry to South Korea for RA
citizens easier. As for the activities of Abrahamian, consul-general
of South Korea in Armenia, the ambassador said the following: “The
government of our country gave that position to Mr. Abrahamian. We
are very impressed and thankful to him for what he does. He spares
no efforts to strengthen the relations between our countries and we
are sure that he will continue working very well.”

The delegation of diplomats from Korea will be present at sports
arrangements, meet with the students of the Yerevan State Linguistic
University as well as RA education and science minister. The South
Korean diplomats will also visit historic places of Armenia.
