S. Korea, UNDP sign agreement on mine removal cooperation

Paris — Korea and France announced new agreements on Tuesday aimed at enhancing bilateral cooperation in defense, military information protection, and defense industry, according to Korean President Lee Jae Myung. The landmark agreements were signed during a joint press conference following a summit at the Elysee Palace with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Lee inaugurated a two-day state visit to France, marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations. In response to challenges to the international order, the two countries committed to making concrete progress in defense and security cooperation.

The Korean leader also highlighted the agreement to jointly address uncertainties in the international landscape.
