Economic and business cooperation between South Korea and the .U.S: new prospects
With the South Korean and U.S. presidents holding their first-ever bilateral summit this week, leaders of core industries are also set to hold talks on business cooperation. As global competition for dominance in the semiconductor industry is heating up, South Korea has stepped up the game by committing a new $450 billion investment into the sector over the next decade.
