  "summary": "South Korea and Canada have strengthened their technological partnership through the 5th Korea-Canada Joint Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, held in Seoul on October 29. The meeting aimed to review and expand cooperation across core technologies, particularly in AI, quantum technology, and biotechnology, in response to the rapidly evolving technological landscape. On the first day, the National Research Foundation of Korea and the National Research Council Canada signed a memorandum of understanding, which will facilitate joint research, research personnel exchanges, and resource sharing. The ministers discussed policy trends and the status of cooperation in these key emerging technologies and proposed a vision for regional multilateral joint research to address common problems in the Asia-Pacific region. The Korean Ministry of Science and ICT plans to use this joint committee as a stepping stone to continuously enhance strategic cooperation, focusing on advanced technology sectors such as AI and quantum technology, which are crucial for national competitiveness.",
