South Korea’s first lady Kim Jung-sook visited a museum in Vienna along with Austrian first lady Doris Schmidauer.
On display were the armor and helmet of a prince from the Joseon Dynasty.
It was sent as a gift by Korean emperor Gojong to the emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph the first right after the two sides established diplomatic relations in 1892.
Kim expressed hope bilateral ties continue to remain strong just like how the gifts have been well preserved for a long time.
The armor and helmet are set to be displayed in South Korea next year marking 1-hundred-30 years of Seoul-Vienna relations.
