An expansion of Irish beef into the Korean market and the promotion of horse-racing links between both countries will form part of discussions during a high-level Government trade mission this week.

The Taoiseach and three senior ministers will travel to South Korea in a bid to expand trade, strengthen political relations, and hold high-level meetings with commercial partners.
