President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday named a new industry minister in a Cabinet reshuffle, officials said.
Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun was nominated as the new minister of trade, industry and energy. Ahn’s appointment comes just three months after incumbent minister Bang Moon-kyu assumed the post in September.
As an expert in the field of international trade and commerce, Ahn served as an adviser to the foreign ministry and the industry ministry, as well as the first trade minister under the Yoon administration.
