President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol spoke by phone with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Friday, and called for close cooperation on the North Korea nuclear issue and in other areas, his spokesperson said.
Yoon thanked Trudeau for the congratulatory message he sent following his election and voiced hope the two countries will continue to expand their cooperation to future industries related to advanced technologies, energy, health and climate change, while working closely to stabilize supply chains, according to spokesperson Bae Hyun-jin.
"Next year, as South Korea and Canada mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties, our relationship will take another leap forward," Yoon said. "Let's continue to defend international rules and the values both nations seek as we deal with the North Korea nuclear issue and other matters."
Trudeau said he looks forward to holding talks with Yoon in person at an early date and noted the Group of 20 summit in Indonesia in November will be an opportunity to reaffirm their unity as countries aiming to achieve a post-pandemic economic recovery, world peace and prosperity. (Yonhap)
