Kim Dae-ki, who was President Yoon Suk Yeol's chief of staff during the first two years of Yoon's term, has been named the ambassador to China.

Kim, a 68-year-old career bureaucrat, will replace the incumbent Chung Jae-ho, who served in the position since August 2022.

Kim has expertise in handling trade-related affairs countering China and has a good command of Chinese, Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk told reporters Monday.

Seoul is awaiting China's approval of Kim's nomination, Chung added.

Kim earned a bachelor's degree in economics at Seoul National University and finished the master's program in business administration at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
