Hold onto your K-dramas and tech gadgets—the Republic of Korea (ROK) is doubling down on collaboration with China! 🇰🇷🤝🇨🇳 President Lee Jae-myung announced Saturday that the two neighbors are ramping up cooperation in trade, tech, and cultural exchanges, calling it a “critically important” move for Northeast Asia’s future.
Speaking after the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, Lee highlighted the ROK and China’s “geographic closeness and economic interdependence,” likening their partnership to a “global power duo” ready to tackle everything from supply chains to climate goals. 🌱💡
“We’re committed to creating more opportunities for dialogue and collaboration,” Lee told reporters, emphasizing plans to boost people-to-people exchanges (think K-pop meets Chinese festivals 🎉) and joint innovation projects. He also hinted at shared efforts to stabilize the region, saying peace is “non-negotiable.” ✌️
