South Korea – France Diplomatic Relations

Korea and France established diplomatic relations in 1886, one of Korea's oldest European partnerships. The relationship has seen both historical drama — French forces participated in the burning of the Ganghwa palace in 1866, and France returned seized Korean royal archives in 2011 — and deep cultural symbiosis. Today France is a leading partner in aerospace (Airbus), nuclear energy, luxury goods, and culture. The Korea-EU FTA has boosted trade, and France is an enthusiastic partner in the global spread of Korean cuisine and culture. Over 27,000 Koreans live in France, the largest Korean community in continental Europe, with Paris's 13th arrondissement serving as the community's vibrant heart.
