South Korea’s Acting President Han Duck-soo has voiced confidence that this week’s trade discussions with the United States will pave the way for a balanced and forward-looking partnership, reinforcing shared economic goals.
During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Han emphasized the growing importance of open dialogue and trade collaboration in a shifting global economic landscape. The upcoming joint trade meeting—requested by the United States—will take place in Washington on April 24 and is expected to spotlight key economic interests between both nations.
South Korea’s Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok and Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun will join top U.S. officials to explore opportunities for expanded trade and investment, especially in areas such as technology, energy, and industrial supply chains.
“We aim to strengthen the economic alliance and open doors for future cooperation,” Choi said ahead of his departure. The initiative highlights the commitment of both countries to boost trade flows and support supply chain resilience through bilateral efforts.
While the specific agenda remains under discussion, South Korean officials have pointed to shipbuilding expertise and participation in energy infrastructure projects—like LNG initiatives in Alaska—as potential negotiation points that align with global trade and sustainability goals.
The anticipated outcomes from these talks are expected to support not just mutual trade interests but also broader regional economic growth, creating new trade channels, job opportunities, and enhanced competitiveness in global markets.
This renewed commitment between Seoul and Washington signals a positive trajectory in international trade, built on trust, collaboration, and long-term strategic vision.
