(LEAD) Cho, Rubio agree to work together for 'good' results from talks on investment projects in U.S.

On Friday, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Washington to discuss bilateral talks on investment projects in the United States, according to the South Korean foreign ministry. The two countries have been negotiating these projects as part of their commitment to the bilateral trade deal signed last year, which stipulated that Seoul would invest $350 billion in the U.S.

Initially, Seoul and Washington were anticipated to announce Korea's first investment project on Friday, Korean time. However, the announcement has been postponed until the following week due to a delay in a related briefing to the National Assembly.

During their meeting, Cho Hyun and Rubio expressed their commitment to working together to ensure that ongoing consultations related to strategic investment projects in the U.S. yield positive results. They also agreed to maintain communication to faithfully implement key agreements between the two leaders, including the Joint Fact Sheet (JFS).
