South Korean Leader, NATO Chief Explore Ways to Enhance Cooperation

(MENAFN) South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte held strategic talks Tuesday focused on bolstering defense cooperation, the presidential office announced.

The telephonic discussion—their second in seven months—centered on sustaining bilateral partnership and pursuing intensive consultations to counter emerging global security threats, presidential spokesperson Kim Nam-jun revealed, according to a news outlet.

Lee advocated for advancing more substantive collaboration through a working-level consultation mechanism established in 2024, a recommendation Rutte endorsed while committing to back strengthened cooperative efforts, the outlet reported.

Both leaders reached consensus on broadening high-level partnerships across additional domains, including space initiatives and intelligence exchange, signaling an expanded South Korea-NATO strategic alignment.

The dialogue underscores growing security coordination between Seoul and the transatlantic alliance amid evolving geopolitical tensions.
