During discussions with Ukraine's Foreign Minister, South Korea confirmed its ongoing support for Ukraine.
On September 23, 2026, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, in New York. This meeting occurred on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where both ministers discussed the current situation in Ukraine.
Cho reaffirmed South Korea's commitment to supporting Ukraine, emphasizing the necessity of providing aid to the Ukrainian people. This commitment follows South Korea's previous announcement of a $100 million non-lethal aid package during the NATO summit held in Ankara in July.
The discussions come at a time when Ukraine is navigating complex geopolitical challenges, including its recent transfer of two North Korean soldiers to South Korea, as mentioned by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the U.N. gathering.
The ongoing support from South Korea could have significant implications for international trade and investment flows, particularly as both nations seek to strengthen their bilateral relations amidst global uncertainties.
