South Korea's ambassador to the United States, Kang Kyung-wha, reported that Washington had raised concerns about intelligence cooperation between the two allies, with Seoul yet to fully address these expectations. During a parliamentary audit in Washington, Ambassador Kang stated that intelligence sharing was the most challenging issue in bilateral relations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly raised the matter during talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun last month. While Kang did not disclose the specifics of Washington's concerns, she mentioned that communication between the two countries' intelligence agencies had continued and made progress. However, Kang also highlighted limited access to senior White House officials. South Korea's foreign ministry has not yet responded to a request for comment on the report.
