German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck leaves for a trip to East Asia on Wednesday.
His first destination is South Korea, where the Minister of Economy wants to meet with representatives of politics and business. The Green politician will be accompanied by a business delegation and members of the Bundestag.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs states that South Korea is Germany’s second most important market in Asia, with exports of goods – mainly cars and car parts – worth around 20 billion euros (21.5 thousand million dollars).
South Korea, in turn, is an important producer of information and communication technology.
Tensions on the border with communist-ruled North Korea are rising again. Habeck plans to travel to China on Friday.
