The PM welcomed the new Ambassador and congratulated him on his appointment.
Among other issues, the Ambassador discussed with the PM about her upcoming visit to Seoul and various programmes of the visit, said PM's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad.
On human resource issues, the PM expressed the hope that ROK will recruit more Bangladeshi manpower in the future.
The PM and the South Korean Ambassador also exchanged views over bilateral trade and business between the two friendly countries.
As importance of preserving mother languages came up in the discussion, Sheikh Hasina told the ROK envoy about the newly established International Mother Language Institute in Dhaka.
A lot of research works will be done at the institute to preserve languages of the world, she said, adding that the Korean language will also be preserved through significant research at the institute.
