South Korean official emphasizes climate finance at COP29

In a recent press release, South Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister for Climate Affairs, Mrs. Hyun Kim, emphasised the pivotal role of climate finance for developing countries as a key agenda item at COP29, Azernews reports.

She expressed strong confidence that, under Azerbaijan’s leadership, the conference will achieve significant progress on climate finance issues, particularly for developing and vulnerable nations.
