Seoul, Nov 26

Ukraine's top diplomat has expressed hope that its special envoy will visit South Korea in the near future to discuss North Korea's troop dispatch to Russia for use in the war against Kyiv.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha made the remark when he met one-on-one with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul on the margins of the top diplomats' meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) rich countries in Italy, on Monday (local time), news agency reported.

South Korea and Ukraine were among the non-G7 members invited as guest countries.

At the talks, Sybiha highlighted the need for action in response to the North's troop dispatch, describing it as a "shared security concern" for both Ukraine and South Korea.

Sybiha is expecting that South Korea will work closely with Ukraine on information sharing with regard to the illegal military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
