The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, during a meeting in Seoul with representatives of the South Korean Government, confused the host country with Japan. RIA Novosti reports on this today, November 4.
“I am here as a European to announce the defense and security partnership between the EU and Japan.” – Borrell was not very diplomatic.
The European’s words caused loud laughter among the representatives of South Korea’s power circles. Then one of the representatives of the receiving party reprimanded Borrell, after which he apologized and corrected himself.
