The Blue House stated on the 25th that media reports claiming National Security Advisor Wi Sung-lac met with a senior Russian government official in Kazakhstan during his visit from the 28th to the 30th of last month are "not true."


The Blue House issued this official stance regarding the reported meeting between Advisor Wi and the senior Russian official via a media notice today.


"The National Security Advisor's visit to Kazakhstan was strictly a bilateral consultation between South Korea and Kazakhstan," the Blue House explained.


However, the Blue House added that communication between South Korea and Russia remains ongoing through standard diplomatic channels. "South Korea and Russia are maintaining necessary communication via diplomatic channels, including their respective embassies, for the stable management of bilateral relations and the protection of our citizens and businesses," the Blue House noted.
