WNAM REPORT: Fang Kun, the charge d’affaires ad interim of the Chinese Embassy in Seoul, expressed hope Tuesday for Korea’s economic and social stability amid heightened political uncertainty following a botched declaration of martial law.
The remarks were made during a meeting with Deputy Finance Minister Choi Ji-young in Seoul. The meeting took place in the wake of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law last week, a decision that was swiftly overturned by the National Assembly in just hours.
“As a close neighbor and an important cooperative partner, we hope for the continued stability of South Korea’s economy and society,” Fang was quoted by the finance ministry as saying.
He also emphasized Beijing’s commitment to maintaining close communication and fostering further collaboration in the future.
In response, Choi reassured that the Seoul government is proactively addressing volatility in financial and foreign exchange markets, including deploying “unlimited liquidity” if necessary.
