South Korea's Yoon eyes trade, investment boost with Ireland

Visit by Irish delegation should be used as an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, says Yoon

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea President Yoon Suk-yeol on Friday said he hoped for a significant increase in trade and investment with Ireland as the two countries work to strengthen cooperation in bio-technology and education.

Yoon, speaking at a bilateral summit with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Seoul, said the visit by Irish delegation should be used as an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, his office said in a statement.

Ireland's Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue on Wednesday told media he had pressed South Korean officials to take the next steps to allow Irish beef for import, a major goal for the Irish delegation.
