During the meeting, Chung will deliver remarks on the OECD’s role in overcoming the shared global challenges and Seoul’s efforts in helping with this.
While in Paris, Chung is also expected to hold a series of bilateral talks with his counterparts from other countries, including Luxembourg and Hungary, as well as with OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann.
