South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Washington on Friday to discuss bilateral talks on investment projects in the U.S., according to the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two agreed to collaborate for positive outcomes from their discussions, as part of efforts to implement last year's bilateral trade deal, under which Seoul pledged to invest $350 billion in the U.S. Initially, the announcement of Korea's first investment project was expected on Friday (Korea time), but it has been postponed until the following week due to a delay in a related briefing to the National Assembly.
The ministers committed to ensuring productive consultations on strategic investment projects in the U.S. and to maintaining communication for the faithful implementation of key agreements, including the Joint Fact Sheet (JFS).
