South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said on Tuesday he hoped his country would expand cooperation with NATO allies in research and development, including in cutting-edge technologies, and in production of weapons systems.
Lee was speaking at the NATO summit’s Defence Industry Forum in the Turkish capital Ankara.
Lee suggested upgrading his country’s current defence cooperation with the military alliance to “South Korea-NATO defence industry partnership 2.0,” saying it would involve not only arms exchanges but joint research, production and operation of weapons systems.
