South Korea lobbies for support of Central and South America for the World Expo

By Aaron Humes: The support of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and other regional countries is being sought by the Republic of Korea (South Korea) to host the 2030 World Expo in its southeast quadrant city of Busan, Yonhap News Agency reports.

Minister Park Jin is attending the Ministerial Council Meeting of the Association of Caribbean States in Guatemala City and met with Prime Minister John Briceno; Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei; and Honduran vice president Doris Gutierrez among others.

The minister stressed the World Expo in Busan would present crucial opportunities to enhance practical cooperation with Central and South American nations on climate change, maritime fields, and other areas, the foreign ministry said. He also said that those nations are South Korea’s essential partners for cooperation as the Yoon Suk Yeol administration is pursuing the role of a “global pivotal state” to fulfill its international responsibilities, according to the ministry.

In addition, he asked for the countries’ cooperation on Seoul’s efforts to join the U.N. Security Council as a non-permanent member for the 2024-25 term.
