[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong held talks with the Tanzanian Foreign Minister on the 26th to discuss cooperation measures between the two countries.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that on this day, Minister Chung held talks and an official luncheon with Liberata Mulamula, the Tanzanian Foreign Minister who is on an official visit to Korea to mark the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Tanzania, and extensively discussed cooperation measures between the two countries as well as major regional and international issues.


Minister Chung welcomed Minister Mulamula's visit and evaluated that the friendly cooperative relationship between the two countries has continuously developed since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported. He emphasized his hope that high-level exchanges between the two countries, which had been suspended for a while due to the spread of COVID-19, would be revitalized.


Minister Mulamula expressed gratitude for the official invitation and said she hopes the bilateral relationship will be further strengthened.


Meanwhile, this event is expected to be the last diplomatic event held at the Foreign Minister's residence in Hannam-dong. Since the Foreign Minister's residence has been designated as the new presidential residence, it will have to be relocated to the Chief Presidential Secretary's residence in Samcheong-dong.



The Blue House relocation task force (TF) is considering using the Chief Presidential Secretary's residence as the new Foreign Minister's official residence and utilizing the adjacent annex as a space for diplomatic events.
