The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said first Vice Minister Choi Jong-Geon had a meeting with Mexican Deputy Minister Carmen Moreno Toscano in Mexico on the 23rd.
Deputy Minister Choi conveyed serious concern from the government and the public over the Japanese government's decision to release contaminated water from Fukushima nuclear power plants and called for support and cooperation from the Mexican side, which shares a single sea of the Pacific Ocean.
Vice Minister Moreno said that Mexico also sympathized with South Korea's position as a Pacific coastal country, and that he would keep an eye on this issue and review necessary measures with the international community.
Vice Minister Choi proposed the conclusion of a health model agreement to strengthen coordination in response to Corona 19, and requested that the Ministerial-level High-Level Policy Council be reopened as soon as possible to continue high-level exchange engines.
