60th anniv. of S. Korea sending nurses, miners to Germany

President Yoon Suk Yeol speaks during a luncheon at a hotel in Seoul on Oct. 4, 2023, to mark the 60th anniversary of a South Korea-West Germany pact that called for Korean miners and nurses to go to the European country. Under the pact, thousands of South Korean miners and nurses were sent to Germany in the 1960s as temporary migrant workers to earn money for both their families and country. (Pool photo) (Yonhap)
