According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Minister Choi welcomed Minister Thill on his first visit to Korea and said, "I hope this visit will serve as an opportunity to expand the cooperation that has continued since the two countries opened embassies in each other's capitals in 2024 beyond film to various fields, including gaming and tourism." In response, Minister Thill said he hoped the two countries would pursue joint projects based on Luxembourg's strengths in digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) and Korea's capabilities in content and cultural technology, while further broadening the areas of exchange and cooperation.

Minister Thill visited Korea after the film Dora, directed by July Jung and co-produced by Korea and Luxembourg, was officially invited to the 31st Busan International Film Festival.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said the Korean Film Council and the Luxembourg Film Fund signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on October 10 to expand cooperation in the film sector.
