On October 30, 2026, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun held separate meetings with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski during the G20 summit in Atlanta.
In his discussions with Wadephul, Cho expressed a desire to deepen ties with Germany across various sectors, including defense, economy, and advanced industries. Wadephul acknowledged the successful preparations for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's recent visit to South Korea and emphasized the potential for increased trade and investment.
Cho's meeting with Sikorski focused on continuing collaboration in defense and battery technologies, following Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's visit to South Korea earlier this year. Sikorski also urged South Korea's support for Poland's bid to join the G20, to which Cho responded with a commitment to ongoing discussions regarding this goal.
