South Korea, Australia to upgrade relations to “comprehensive strategic relationship”

South Korean President Moon Jae-in arrived in Canberra on Sunday for a four-day state visit that is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral ties and securing a stable supply chain of raw materials.

 

Mr. Moon is the first South Korean president to pay a state visit to Australia in 12 years. He is also the first foreign leader that the country has invited since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Moon will hold a summit with Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Strengthening cooperation in the fields of carbon-neutral technology, the hydrogen economy, defense industry, space and cyberspace is expected to top the agenda.

South Korea and Australia mark the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic ties this year, and will upgrade their relations to a “comprehensive strategic relationship.”
