A former Korean ambassador to Brazil has been appointed as the country's new ambassador to Canada, the Foreign Ministry said Friday.
The ministry unveiled the appointment of Lim Ki-mo, who also previously served as ambassador to Argentina.
Kim earned a bachelor's degree in Hispanic language and literature from Seoul National University before joining the foreign service in 1991.
He also served as deputy director-general for the office preparing for Seoul's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the southeastern city of Gyeongju last year.
