According to him, during the visit to Seoul the delegation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was able to discuss some key issues of cooperation.

“I want to emphasize the high motivation and interest of the Korean side in cooperation with Ukraine, including in the industrial and technical sphere, space programs, infrastructure and agricultural projects. South Korea is an amazing country that has achieved phenomenal success in the economic development in a very short time. This is a very important and dynamic partner for Ukraine!” – – stressed the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Arsen Avakov also emphasized that the Ukrainian delegation had the last meetings in Seoul only the day before yesterday, and today MIA held a joint coordination meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the implementation of the agreements reached.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine have developed an intensive step-by-step program of actions.
