[THE INVESTOR] South Korea's finance minister Yoo Il-ho held a meeting with the head of the Green Climate Fund, the Finance Ministry here said on Aug.11.

“The South Korean government is concerned about the development of the GCF, which is headquartered in our country,” Yoo was quoted as saying in a meeting with Hela Cheikhrouhou, executive director of the GCF, in Seoul.

“We will continue to support the GCF for its development and settlement in the city of Incheon.”

Cheikhrouhou appreciated South Korea’s support and contribution to the GCF’s resource mobilization and operation since the launch of the GCF in 2013.

The South Korea-based GCF is aimed at leading and overseeing the global campaign to tackle climate change, with the current 17 projects worth a combined US$424 million.
