Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se will meet with a visiting top United Nations official Monday on regional security and global issues, the foreign ministry said.
Yun plans to hold a bilateral meeting with U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson at his office for consultations on the 2015 Development Agenda and peacekeeping operations as well as the North Korean nuclear issue and security conditions on the Korean Peninsula, according to the ministry.
“As the U.N. marks the 70th anniversary of its birth this year, Minister Yun expects to review South Korea’s ties with the U.N.,” a ministry official said.
Eliasson, a Swedish diplomat, is here to attend the 7th World Water Forum under way in the southeastern city of Daegu. (Yonhap)
