President Moon Jae-in decided today (20th) to replace Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa and appointed former Blue House National Security Officer Eui-yong Eui-yong to succeed.



In addition to the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Democratic Party Rep. Hwang Hee and Democratic Party Rep. Kwon Chil-seung were appointed as Minister of SMEs and Startups.



Chung Man-ho, senior citizen of the Blue House, announced the greetings of these three ministries through a briefing today.



Candidate Eui-Yong Eui-Yong is a diplomatic official who graduated from the Department of Foreign Affairs at Seoul National University.



He has served as an ambassador for the US Corporation, Israel's ambassador to Israel, and an ambassador for the topic of the Neva delegation.



Minister Kang Kyung-hwa served as the first foreign minister of the Moon Jae-in administration and has led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for over three and a half years.



Initially, there was a prospect that Kang would share office with President Moon, but President Moon decided to change it this time.



The candidate for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hwang Hee is a re-elected National Assembly member who is from Soongsil University's Department of Economics and has Yang Chun-gap as a district.



He served as an administrator at the Blue House of the Roh Moo-hyun administration, and served as the chairman of the Democratic Party's public relations committee and the internal representative of the hospital.



Candidate Chil-seung Kwon is a re-elected member of the 20th and 21st general elections after a graduate of the Economics Department at Korea University.



He also worked at the Blue House of the Roh Moo-hyun administration.



The replacement of the Minister of the Middle and the Middle East is due to the decision of the current Minister Park Young-sun to run for the Seoul Mayor by-election in April.



Minister Park expressed his gratitude this morning.
