US and South Korea Strengthen Economic Ties in High-Level Talks
Senior officials from South Korea and the United States met in Washington this week for the 10th Senior Economic Dialogue (SED). The talks focused on deepening economic ties, securing trusted supply chains, and building on a major trade and investment deal signed earlier this year. Both sides reaffirmed commitments made during recent summits between their leaders.
The two-day meeting began on Wednesday, covering ways to strengthen economic security and cooperation. Discussions included efforts to counter unfair trade practices and ensure stable supply chains. Officials also explored further collaboration on critical minerals, with the U.S. recognizing Korea's role in developing resilient supply networks.
The discussions reinforced joint efforts to boost economic security and supply chain stability. The $350 billion investment deal and reduced tariffs remain central to the partnership. Both countries plan to continue collaboration on critical minerals, technology, and trade in the coming months.
