[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the report that Seo Hoon, Director of the Blue House National Security Office, will visit China this week, the Blue House stated on the 30th that "consultations between the authorities are underway."


A Blue House official told reporters on the same day, "South Korea and China continuously maintain strategic communication through various opportunities such as high-level exchanges, and Director Seo's visit to China is being discussed with the Chinese side in that context."



Regarding the earlier foreign media report suggesting that seven countries, including South Korea, helped Taiwan develop submarines, when asked if this visit is related, the official said, "The visit is not related to that report," adding, "The article is not true, and we are currently verifying whether there has been any illegal provision of information to Taiwan on an individual basis."
