[World Wide Web Reporter Jiang Ailing] According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on the 14th, Roh Jae-hyun, son of former South Korean President Roh Tae-woo and chairman of the East Asian Cultural Center, has been basically confirmed to serve as South Korea's ambassador to China.

A spokesman for the South Korean Presidential Office said in a briefing that the government on the same day (14th) at the 45th State Conference chaired by South Korean President Li Ming, passed the "government personnel appointment case" for the appointment of Lu Lu as ambassador to China.

According to the report, based on this, Roh Jae-hsien's formal appointment only has Li Zai-ming's approval process. Since his predecessor, Chung Jae-ho, stepped down in January this year, the position of South Korea's ambassador to China has been vacant for about nine months.

At the September 11 routine press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Korean media reporter asked that South Korea had nominated Lu as the first ambassador to the Chinese government, how did China evaluate this nomination? is the relevant process ongoing?

According to several Korean media reports, Lu was born in South Korea on November 3, 1965. he graduated from the business department of the University of Seoul, then went to the United States, earned a master's degree in political science at Stanford University and a doctoral degree in law at Georgetown University, and held a New York State legal practitioner qualification, had served in several large American law firms, with a wealth of legal practice experience.

Although he came from a political family, Lu Zaixian's political experience was relatively short. Public information shows that he briefly dabbled in politics during the Kim Young-sam government and then faded out of the political arena.

Roh Jae-hsion himself has been actively involved in exchanges between the two countries for many years. The Korean National Daily stated that he established the East Asia Cultural Foundation (formerly known as the Korea-China Cultural Center) on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China in 2012. He often travels between China and South Korea to promote exchanges and cooperation in cultural fields such as music, art, and academia. In 2016, he was hired as a consultant to the International Consulting Group of Chengdu City, China. In 2018, he also served as co-director of the Korea Belt and Road Research Institute. In recent years, Roh Jae-hyun has appeared more frequently on the stage of exchanges between China and South Korea. In August this year, he visited China as a member of the South Korean President's Special Envoy Group.

Some observers believe that Li Zai-ming's choice of Roh Jae-hsien, who has no diplomatic experience, as ambassador to China is intended to send a signal to improve and deepen relations with China. Public opinion in South Korea also generally believes that Lee Jae-ming's government hopes to enhance mutual trust through "cultural ties" and maintain the stable development of bilateral relations in a complex international situation.
