South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol posted today: "An unexpected selfie with Italian Prime Minister Meloni, and she also gave me an unexpected gift ^^"
Thank you for taking the time to visit us in the early part of the year despite your busy schedule.
Thank you for your keen interest and firm commitment to developing relations with South Korea.
Just like the bright smile in the selfie, during that time I felt the friendship between South Korea and Italy became even stronger.
I hope to see you again in Italy next time. Goodbye!"
Comment: During this trip to East Asia, Meloni first upgraded bilateral relations with Japan to a "Special Strategic Partnership," then went to South Korea to finalize semiconductor cooperation with Yoon Suk-yeol and deepen coordination on Indo-Pacific affairs, completing Italy's key positioning in the Indo-Pacific. On the other hand, since Yoon Suk-yeol took office, due to weak domestic economic recovery and tense situation on the Korean Peninsula, his popularity has fluctuated, and pragmatic diplomatic achievements have always been an effective way for the South Korean government to boost public support.
