History

Ukraine became independent on August 24, 1991, after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union,^[1] and was recognized by South Korea about four months later. The two nations then established relations in February 1992 through the signing of a declaration of recognition.

After the establishment of the Embassy of South Korea in Kyiv, the Ukrainians first appointed Korean entrepreneur Ho-Sang Wang(왕호상) as the honorary ambassador, who was in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the two nations.^[2] Later in October 1997, Ukraine officially established their embassy in Seoul, and appointed Mykhailo Reznik as the first ambassador.^[3]

The embassy was located at Seocho-dong (외교센터) when it first opened.^[1] In December 2002, it relocated to Dongbinggo-dong. In January 2015, the embassy once again relocated to its current location in Itaewon.^[3]

In 2012, the embassy celebrated the 20th anniversary of its opening, and coordinated some cross-cultural events, including a celebration of Ukrainian independence on August 24.^[4]

Responsibilities

The head of the embassy is the ambassador, and there are consulates under the embassy to divide up bureaucratic duties.^[5] The embassy is responsible for diplomatic discussions on topics like trade and economic cooperation, technological innovations, legal responsibilities, and cultural exchange.^[6]

Besides the main embassy, the Ukrainian delegation also has an honorary consulate in Seoul. Its office is located in Mapo District, and its consular district encompasses the provinces of North Gyeongsang, South Gyeongsang, North Jeolla, South Jeolla, Jeju Island, along with the cities of Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, and Gwangju.^[5]
