POSCO CEO to meet Eric Schmit

By Kim Yoo-chul

POSCO Chairman Chung Joon-yang Tuesday left for the United States where he will meet with Eric Schmidt, chairman of Internet giant Google, to discuss mutual business opportunities.

The Korean steelmaker is seeking to expand what it describes as a strategic partnership with Google, although company officials declined to reveal details of the agenda topics.

At the Google’s headquarters in California, ``Chung will discuss a wealth of issues with Schmidt, although his stay in the U.S. won’t be long,’’ said a POSCO official.
