South Korean Prime Minister Arrives in Sri Lanka

South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won arrived in Sri Lanka Wednesday for an official visit aimed at boosting relations and investment.

The three-day official visit will also see the prime minister visiting new areas of development in the island including a visit to the freshly expanded Colombo port, which is now the deepest harbour in South Asia. Prime Minister Chung is scheduled to participate in the Korea-Sri Lanka Environmental Cooperation Forum today.

This is the first official visit of a South Korean prime minister to Sri Lanka since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1977.
