Ambassador of the Republic of Korea Cho Hyun has said that he would resolve the mango import issue with India at the time of negotiations for upgrading the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
“All else can wait but not Indian mangoes,” said the South Korean envoy. “The national fruit of India, Mango, how much I enjoy that, are not imported into Korea after attempts some seven years ago,” said Mr. Hyun, speaking at the Observer Research Foundation on Tuesday.
“I am going to resolve this issue at the time of the negotiations for upgrading CEPA,” he said.
