I took part in over 20 meetings and events at the Munich Security Conference from 17-19 February. Unfortunately, schedules did not allow for a meeting with my South Korean counterpart, Foreign Minister Park Jin, at this year's event. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ireland the Republic of Korea and the bilateral relationship is strong. Last week, senior officials from my Department met with their South Korean counterparts for political consultations, the first such meeting since October 2021. I look forward to meeting Foreign Minister Park when the next occasion arises.
