Both parties agreed to maintain a robust South Korea-U.S. combined defense posture and reaffirmed their commitment to achieving a substantive resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue. They also discussed global affairs, with Secretary Rubio providing an update on U.S. efforts to restore peace and stability in the Middle East, including Iran.
