In December 2012, German Chancellor Angela Merkel invited President-elect Park Geun-hye, former president Park`s daughter, to Germany to jointly commemorate the 130th year of diplomatic ties between the two countries. Chancellor Merkel extended her invitation when she telephoned Park, the first call from a foreign government leader to congratulate Park on her election victory. I hope many Koreans will visit Germany in this important year to enjoy over 5,000 German beer brands and drive on the famous autobahn highway system. In Germany, they will be happily surprised to witness the slew of Korean electronics and automobiles, and the increasingly popular Korean cuisine and pop culture.
