Ukrainian Ambassador to Korea Appointed... Expected to Convey Ukraine's Position to Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Amid Russia's military operation against Ukraine, a new Ukrainian ambassador has been appointed to South Korea.

Dmytro Ponomarenko, the newly appointed Ukrainian ambassador to South Korea, visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Sejong-ro, Seoul, on the morning of the 24th to submit a copy of his letter of credence.

Typically, when a foreign ambassador is appointed, they first submit a copy of the letter of credence granted by their head of state to the host country's government before officially beginning their duties. Given Ukraine's invasion by Russia, it is expected that he will convey his government's position to the South Korean government and discuss cooperation between the two governments.

The position of Ukrainian ambassador to South Korea had been vacant for over a year since the previous ambassador, Oleksandr Horin, left office in December 2020.
