South Korea and Japan held high-level economic talks in Seoul on Wednesday to discuss cooperation in supply chains and advanced technologies, the presidential office said.
Song Ki-ho, presidential secretary for economic security, and Takeshi Soda, Cabinet councilor of Japan's National Security Secretariat, led their respective delegations at the fourth Korea-Japan Economic Security Dialogue.
The two sides exchanged opinions on a wide range of economic security issues and discussed ways to collaborate on supply chain resilience and cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence and quantum technology, according to the office.
The latest dialogue comes after President Lee Jae Myung and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba agreed to strengthen communication in economic security at their summit in Tokyo last month.
The two nations will hold the next round of talks next year, it noted.
