South Korean Ambassador Kim Jong Yong, speaking as the chief guest, reviewed ties between the two countries.
"Saudi Arabia and South Korea have been enjoying strong relations based on a solid foundation of mutual respect and friendship in all aspects, including trade, commerce and culture," he said.
Kim, who was accompanied by Consul General Yong-gi Shin, said this was the seventh time the Task Group visited the Kingdom since their first trip in 1977.
Rear Adm. Choi Yangsun, commander of the Task Group, said the group had 620 crew members, including 129 midshipmen on its two naval ships, ROKS Kang Gam Chan and ROKS Chunji.
The group will sail for Istanbul on Tuesday.
Choi said the training aimed to provide practical and systematic onboard education for the midshipmen while widening their international perspective, building friendships with visiting countries and representing the spirit and pride of Korean people abroad.
Visits to the Jeddah Mayoralty, the Coast Guard and the Western Fleet are on Choi's agenda.
