Türkiye and South Korea have pushed their strategic ties to a new level. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Lee Jae Myung oversaw the signing of six co-operation agreements on Monday, most notably on nuclear energy.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday said that his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Ankara focused on steps to advance defence industry cooperation between the two countries.
"Our discussions with the relevant institutions on the establishment of a clean power plant are also ongoing," Erdoğan said in a joint news conference with Lee.
“I see the memorandum of understanding signed earlier between the Korea Electric Power Corporation and the Turkish Nuclear Energy Corporation as an important step. We are also in agreement with South Korea regarding counterterrorism,” he added.
The two presidents discussed cooperation in many areas, including trade, tourism, energy, defence, technology, and investments, Erdoğan noted.
They also agreed to continue cooperation in platforms such as the UN, G20, and the cross-regional consultative platform MIKTA.
Erdoğan underlined the strong potential of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, battery technology, and renewable energy, noting new agreements on wind energy and cooperation in the field of blood plasma.
He also welcomed Hyundai’s new electric vehicle investment in İzmit, and reiterated Türkiye’s support for Korean companies investing in the country.
Earlier, Erdoğan welcomed his South Korean counterpart in an official ceremony at the Presidential Complex in Türkiye’s capital.
Following the ceremony, they held a bilateral meeting and co-chaired a delegation meeting.
