President Lee Jae Myung names special envoys to U.S.

President Lee Jae Myung has appointed Park Yong-maan, former chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to lead his special envoys to the United States.

Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Woo Sang-ho told reporters Thursday that the three-member delegation will be made up of Park, along with ruling Democratic Party lawmakers Han Jun-ho and Kim Woo-young.

Woo noted that the envoys are not being sent to address a specific issue, but rather to explain the changes in South Korea since President Lee took office.

Their departure date has not yet been decided.

This week, the President dispatched envoys to the European Union headquarters in Brussels, France, the United Kingdom, and India.
