“From an orthodox economic bureaucrat… “We have extensive experience in China policy.”
“Expecting results from the development of Korea-China strategic cooperative partnership”
President Yoon Seok-yeol nominated former President Kim Dae-gi, former Chief of Staff, as the new Ambassador to China on the 14th.
Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok made this announcement during a briefing at the Yongsan Presidential Office this afternoon.
Chief of Staff Jeong said, “Nominee Kim is an orthodox economic bureaucrat who was in charge of a wide range of government reforms, including serving as the Director of the Financial Operations Office and the Director of the National Statistical Office of the Budget Office of the Ministry of Planning and Budget, the Senior Secretary to the President for Economic Affairs and Director of Policy in the Lee Myung-bak administration, and the first Chief of Staff to the President in the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.” He explained the background of the appointment.
He continued, “Nominee Kim has worked in the economic ministry for a long time and 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.”
In addition, “I have always had a deep interest in Korea-China relations, focusing on economic issues, and have delved into China’s social history and culture. 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.
President Yoon plans to apply for agrément for Kim-nominee to the Chinese government on this day, and plans to appoint him as soon as agrément is granted.
