Syria and South Korea begin bilateral relationship

Syria and South Korea have established diplomatic relations as Seoul’s Foreign Ministry expressed its relationship with the new Islamist government.

According to the Independent, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul visited Damascus on April 10. During the meeting, the South Koreans signed a joint communiqué with Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani.

The South Korean ministry has highlighted the new opportunities for bilateral relations presented by the recent relationship, which were previously obstructed due to Syria’s “close ties with North Korea.”
