Kim Dae-gi, nominated ambassador to China. / News 1″/>
Former Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi, who was appointed as the new Korean Ambassador to China, graduated from the Public Administration Examination (22nd) and served as Secretary for Economic Policy at the Blue House and Director of the Office of Financial Management at the Ministry of Planning and Budget under the Participatory Government, Director of the National Statistical Office, Second Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Senior Secretary for Economic Affairs at the Blue House under the Lee Myung-bak administration. He is classified as an economic expert who served as the head of the policy office.
With the launch of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration in 2022, he served as the first Chief of Staff to the President and received the President’s trust. This confidence appears to have been the background for his appointment as ambassador to China in the context of improving Korea-China relations.
He is a budget and planning expert who has held key budget-related positions. He was evaluated as having improved financial efficiency by leading the introduction of a top-down budget system and strengthening performance management while serving as the Financial Management Planning Director at the Ministry of Planning and Budget.
In addition, he was recognized for his expertise in the cultural field, including serving as the head of the Administrative and Cultural Budget Department at the Ministry of Planning and Budget, and served as the second vice minister of culture, which is rare among economic officials.
It is known that he was well-respected when working in government agencies due to his emphasis on principles and rational work handling.
The President’s Office said of nominee Kim, “Having worked in the economic ministry for a long time, he has extensive policy experience in promoting economic cooperation projects with China, such as the Korea-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and resolving the Korea-China trade conflict.”
At the same time, he said, “Not only have I been deeply interested in Korea-China relations, focusing on economic issues, and have delved into China’s social history and culture, but I also have a high-level command of Chinese, so I can continue to develop the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, as well as in the rapidly changing order of Northeast Asia.” “We expect to achieve diplomatic results commensurate with Korea’s status,” he said.
