South Korea and NATO have agreed to set up a new consultative body focused on defence industry cooperation, aiming to deepen collaboration through joint development and procurement initiatives.
The agreement was reached during a meeting between South Korea’s National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing a statement from the presidential office.
According to the statement, the new consultative body will be created at the director-general level and will serve as a formal channel to discuss concrete ways to enhance cooperation in the defence sector.
Wi emphasized South Korea’s advanced defence technology and strong production capabilities, saying they present “significant opportunities” for expanded NATO cooperation.
In addition to bilateral talks, Wi also participated in a separate session with leaders from Japan, Australia and New Zealand - NATO’s key Indo-Pacific partners. The group adopted a joint statement reinforcing their commitment to closer collaboration in defence-related areas.
This includes joint projects across defence development, space and maritime security, supply chain resilience, and munitions production. South Korea also expressed readiness to participate in upcoming NATO projects aimed at strengthening the alliance’s capabilities.
