Today, the Ambassador of the Republic of South Korea to Germany, S.E.

"Between 1962 and 2015, Germany's investments in South Korea totaled $12 billion (USD), which makes the Federal Republic of Germany the 3rd largest investor in South Korea. I am delighted that entrepreneurs and scientists of South Korea and Dresden are taking up this tradition and expanding their collaboration, at the renowned ADeKo-Conference," the ambassador Kyung Soo Lee says.
