Explanation
に関する and に関して both mean 'about' or 'regarding' and are used to talk about information, opinions, or topics that pertain to something. に関する is used to modify a noun directly (a noun phrase that specifies the topic), while に関して is used to talk about a topic in relation to a situation or to discuss opinions or statements about it. Use に関する when you want to describe content that is about the topic (e.g., reports, articles). Use に関して for more formal or subjective discussion, often in questions, comments, or official statements.
