SEOUL, Oct 15 (Reuters) - South Korea, which will chair next month's G20 summit, warned on Friday that international tensions over foreign exchange policy could lead to increased trade protectionism.
Finance Minister Yoon Jeung-hyun said during a scheduled meeting of senior trade-related officials that the country, as the chair of the November Group of 20 economies summit, felt the need to "sternly deal with" trade protectionist moves.
His opening remarks at the meeting were open to media. (Reporting by Cheon Jong-woo, writing by Yoo Choonsik; Editing by Chris Lewis)
