President Lee dispatches special envoys to EU, France, UK, India

President Lee Jae Myung is dispatching special envoys overseas to signal what he calls the "return of democratic Korea" and share his administration's policy agenda.

The Presidential Office said Sunday that four delegations will visit the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, as well as France, the United Kingdom, and India to strengthen South Korea's global ties.

The EU team, led by former environment minister Yoon Yeo-joon, is scheduled to depart later on Monday, with the other three teams will leave by Wednesday.

Each delegation is made up of three members, mostly sitting lawmakers, headed by a chief envoy.

They plan to meet with key officials and deliver personal letters from President Lee underscoring South Korea's commitment to stronger ties.

Additional envoys will be announced once schedules are finalized.
