When the Uruguayan Embassy in Seoul closed due to financial problems in 2002, Nelson Yemil Chaben, then chief of staff in the ministry of foreign affairs in Uruguay, developed a dream _ to reopen the embassy because he wanted to work there.
Four years later his dream came true with his arrival in Seoul early this year as the first Uruguayan ambassador in the reopened embassy.
The 51-year-old career diplomat said that he had long relations with Korea because of his love of taekwondo. In 1982, he began practicing the martial art, and he has a black belt with a certificate from Korea’s taekwondo association.
