In a Wednesday meeting with Italian Chamber of Deputies President Lorenzo Fontana in Rome, Cho explored methods to boost people-to-people and parliamentary exchanges, as well as economic and industrial collaborations.
Following the two nations' designation as a special strategic partnership, cooperation has surged in emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, space, and defense, Cho noted.
