南韓外交部28日召見烏克蘭駐南韓大使館臨時代辦維什金(Andrii Vieshkin),針對烏克蘭政府單方面公布北韓戰俘被移送南韓,以及聲稱「南韓與烏克蘭從未達成保密約定」一事,表達嚴重關切。
韓聯社報導,南韓外交部第一次官(副部長)朴潤柱28日以閉門方式召見維什金,強調烏方所謂「南韓與烏克蘭之間不存在保密約定」的說法是不實訊息,南韓對此表示強烈遺憾。

朴潤柱並指出,烏方發布不實訊息嚴重損害兩國政府間的互信,也有損雙邊友好關係,敦促烏克蘭政府正式澄清並道歉,同時採取措施防止類似情況再次發生。
南韓總統府青瓦台日前就曾要求烏方正式澄清並道歉,並稱正研議對此事採取進一步必要措施。在此情況下,南韓政府28日再由副部長級官員出面交涉,且相關表述均與青瓦台的立場文件高度一致,顯示南韓政府對事件高度重視。
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)23日在紐約出席聯合國大會時表示,烏方日前已將2名北韓戰俘送往南韓。南韓總統李在明隨後在社群媒體發文指出,烏方違反雙方此前達成的保密約定,令人遺憾。
不過,烏克蘭總統辦公室1名消息人士隨後反駁稱,雙方並未達成保密約定,使南韓與烏克蘭雙方各執一詞。

The municipal engineering project of the Shenzhen Huanggang Port Joint Inspection Building has recently successfully passed the completion acceptance and is ready to be opened to traffic. The project, undertaken by China Construction Fifth Engineering Group South China Company, includes a new joint inspection building and peripheral municipal projects. It aims to improve the transportation network in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border inspection area and enhance port customs clearance capabilities. The Huanggang Road node project includes new bridge ramps, ground auxiliary roads and underground tunnels, connecting the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway and Huanggang Road to achieve a seamless connection between the port and the expressway network. BIM virtual pre-assembly, finite element simulation and other technologies were applied during construction to ensure progress and quality. The North Plaza area and the Lok Ma Chau Bridge have passed the acceptance inspection first. The rebuilt Huanggang Port will be positioned as the most important 24-hour passenger land port in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, implementing the "one place, two inspections" and "cooperative inspection, one release" customs clearance models.
