he South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-Won arrived in Sri Lanka on Wednesday on a three-day official visit from August 28 - 30 aiming to further strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.
He was warmly received by Ministers S.B. Dissanayake, Felix Perera and several other government politicians at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake.
This is the first official visit of Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1977, the South Korean Embassy in Colombo said.
