Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "In Paris, I was pleased to meet with Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun.

I briefed my counterpart on our peace efforts and proposals for de-escalation.

We had a meaningful discussion on ways to end the war, and I value Minister Cho's insightful views drawing on the Republic of Korea's own historical experience.

I reaffirmed Ukraine's willingness to develop a dynamic and pragmatic partnership with the ROK, based on mutual interests and the shared security threats posed by the DPRK's involvement in Russia's aggression.

We are grateful to the Republic of Korea for supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will welcome the active engagement of Korean businesses in Ukraine's recovery.

I am convinced that further steps lie ahead towards the full normalisation of our bilateral relations, and this is the outcome we are working to achieve.

I thanked Minister Cho for our regular and constructive dialogue and reiterated my invitation for him to visit Ukraine".
