[1/4] South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol delivers remarks to the U.S.-Korea Business Council at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., U.S., April 25, 2023.
He said the two countries' economies had been facing new challenges and the economic slowdown was unsettling the investment environment.
"Competition for technological hegemony, energy issues and climate crises are casting more uncertainties on business activity day by day," Yoon said.
"This cooperation should extend beyond semiconductors to future emerging technologies such as AI, Quantum, SMR (Small Modular Reactors) and more," Yoon said.
Core technologies from the United States and South Korea's advanced manufacturing capabilities would "create enormous synergies that will benefit both countries," he said.
