The first stop on Economy Minister Robert Habeck’s Asian trip is the South Korean capital, Seoul, on Thursday. From there, he will travel to China. Although the sequence of the trip has no significant meaning – an earlier plan had him visiting China first, then South Korea – South Korea is a fitting partner in light of Germany’s China strategy, deserving special attention. „South Korea faces similar challenges, both economically and in terms of security risks,“ said Habeck on the flight to Seoul.
