Political Relations

Greece has traditionally enjoyed good relations with the Republic of Korea, which is particularly appreciative of our involvement in the Korean War (1950-1953). The 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War was marked by commemorative events in Athens and Seoul in 2010.

These historical-political aspects of our bilateral relations extend into our major economic cooperation, with emphasis on shipbuilding in the Republic of Korean shipyards and the commercial success of the Republic of Korea hi-tech products in Greece.
