SEOUL, Nov. 10 (Yonhap) -- Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met with his Canadian counterpart in France on Tuesday and discussed ways to expand cooperation in artificial intelligence, defense and other areas, Seoul's foreign ministry said.
Cho held the meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand on the margins of a Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers' meeting in Paris and agreed to continue close coordination as a "comprehensive strategic partner," according to the ministry.
The top diplomats assessed the deepening bilateral cooperation through increased exports of Canadian crude oil and liquefied natural gas and agreed to work closely together to secure a stable supply chain.
The two sides also agreed to expand coordination in the defense sector by building on the joint statement on their strategic partnership in security and defense signed between President Lee Jae Myung and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney last year.
