The European Union (EU) is “fully supportive” of the efforts towards reconciliation being taken by the two Koreas, its Managing Director for Asia-Pacific Gunnar Wiegand said on Friday (June 8).

He was speaking at an event at the Singapore Management University which was hosted by the EU Delegation to Singapore and attended by diplomats, think-tank researchers and businessmen with interests in Europe.

Titled “EU-Asia Relations on The Rise”, Mr Wiegand’s hour-long lecture was moderated by Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, former Secretary-General of the Association of South-east Asian Nations and executive deputy chairman at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
