Second Visit
One Team Korea will dispatch a reconstruction cooperation delegation to Ukraine by the end of August.
According to the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) on July 24, the Korean government recently assembled a reconstruction cooperation team with government officials and those from Korean companies and began preparations to dispatch the team to Ukraine.
One Team Korea will include those from about 10-plus Korean companies from the construction, energy, water, IT, and railroad sectors that are willing to participate in Ukraine’s reconstruction projects. MOLIT Minister Won Hee-ryong will head up the team.
Participating Korean companies have not yet been finalized, but it is likely that some Korean companies participated in the meeting for cooperation in Ukraine’s reconstruction held during President Yoon’s visit to Poland, so they are highly likely to fly there. Eleven companies and organizations that participated in the meeting were Samsung C&T, Hyundai E&C, Kolon Global, HD Hyundai Site Solutions, Hyundai Rotem, Yooshin Engineering, Naver, LH Corporation, Korea Water Resources Corporation, the International Contractors Association of Korea, and the Export-Import Bank of Korea.
“We are still in the process of reviewing the content while establishing a plan and nothing has been finalized as to when we will send the delegation,” an MOLIT official said. “The schedule is not yet fixed. We need to collect the opinions of the Ukrainian side. We need to check our schedule as well. The participating companies have not yet been decided.”
