According to Reuters, South Korea’s Ministers of Industry and Trade will visit the United States, aiming to strengthen economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. The visit comes at a time of uncertainty in global supply chains and increased competition in technology.
The South Korean delegation will discuss with US officials opportunities for cooperation in semiconductors, electric vehicles, renewable energy and other strategic sectors. The two countries plan to work together on strengthening global supply chains and technology sharing, especially in the semiconductor industry. South Korea is known as one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, and close cooperation with the US in this field could strengthen both countries’ position in the global technology market. There is also potential for cooperation in areas such as electric vehicles and battery technologies. The visit is seen as part of South Korea’s efforts to deepen its strategic partnership with the United States. The two countries aim to take a common stance against China’s growing economic and technological influence.
