Strengthening the Korea-Baltic States Economic Relationship

Abstract

Among the high-level guests of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games were the heads of states of the three Baltic countries: Presidents Kersti Kaljulaid of Estonia, Raimonds Vējonis of Latvia and Dalia Grybauskaitė of Lithuania. Each of the three held a meeting with their South Korean counterpart, President Jae-in Moon, to discuss strengthening their country's relationship with Korea. In particular, they agreed with President Moon to launch a joint economic committee between Korea and the Baltic states this year to explore possibilities of meaningful economic cooperation.
