The Swedish Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, has decided to postpone his scheduled visit to South Korea this week, as confirmed by his spokesperson on Wednesday. Kristersson was set to meet with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for a summit.
The decision to delay the visit comes in light of recent developments in South Korea. The spokesperson stated, 'Given the recent developments, we have decided to postpone the visit. We have been in contact with South Korea this morning, and will now work together to find a new time for the visit in the future.'
South Korea has been facing political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law on Tuesday night. However, the martial law was swiftly reversed just hours later after lawmakers voted to lift the measure, and the decision was approved by the Cabinet.
The postponement of the Swedish Prime Minister's visit underscores the sensitivity of the current situation in South Korea. Both countries are now looking to reschedule the visit for a more suitable time in the future.
