Good afternoon. Let me start today’s briefing.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-yul, together with Minister of SMEs and Startups Oh Youngju, will attend the “2024 innovative venture industry new year’s greeting event” on January 19.

The upcoming event will serve as an opportunity for the government and the venture industry to exchange views on key issues in the industry.

It will be attended by around 150 people, including government officials and business people from the venture industry.

At the event, Foreign Minister Cho will listen to the difficulties and needs of the Korean venture and startup industry, and discuss ways for cooperation between the public and private sectors, including cooperation between the two Ministries, to facilitate the industry’s entry into the global market.
