Crown princess of Sweden meets South Korea leaders

Описание: (24 Mar 2015) Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria met South Korea's President Park Geun-hye in Seoul on Tuesday as part of efforts to strengthen diplomatic ties between their two countries.
Park welcomed Princess Victoria and thanked Sweden for its contribution and assistance during the Cheonan navy ship sinking incident investigation, the South Korean Presidential Office said.

The Crown Princess also visited the National Cemetery to pay her respects to South Korea's war dead and past politicians, and held a meeting with South Korean Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo.
She arrived in Seoul on Monday, and is expected to depart on Thursday.
It is her first visit to South Korea.
