TOKYO (Sputnik) – Earlier this week, the Kremlin announced that Park would travel to Russia to take part in the Eastern Economic Forum. She will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok on September 3.
The two leaders are set to discuss bilateral cooperation in various fields, as well as international and regional issues. A number of documents are set to be signed following the talks.
"Currently, Russia is working together with the Republic of Korea in responding to the North's provocations. Since the resolution of North Korea's nuclear and missile issues would provide significant thrust for the mutual development of our two countries and the Far East, I look forward to continuing bilateral cooperation in bringing about such changes with a long-term vision," Park said.
According to the president, there has been a growing interest in South Korea in developing the Russian Far East.
"The presence of additional Korean companies is expected to lead to an improvement in the quality of life for the residents of the Russian Far East and also contribute to laying the foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation, including the diversification of industry and the expansion of infrastructure," Park added.
