SEOUL, Aug 10 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- South Korea will send a group of special envoys to Indonesia this week to reaffirm the new Lee Jae Myung government's commitment to deepening ties with the Southeast Asian nation, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing the presidential office on Sunday.
The delegation, led by Rep. Cho Jeong-sik of the ruling Democratic Party, will make a three-day visit to Jakarta starting Monday, Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a message to reporters.
The envoys will meet with key Indonesian government officials and deliver a letter from Lee to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto outlining efforts to strengthen bilateral ties, Kang said.
They also plan to have broad discussions on ways to further boost practical cooperation in areas such as trade and investment, the defence sector, energy and digital transition, as well as efforts to deepen ties at the regional level involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Indonesia is one of the 10 ASEAN member states, which include neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Since taking office on June 4, Lee has sent special envoys to the European Union, France, Britain, India, Poland and a few other countries.
