Anchor President Lee Jae-myung, attending the NATO summit, met with U.S. President Trump again after three weeks. Regarding the construction of military vessels requested by President Trump three weeks ago, President Lee responded by saying he would provide maximum cooperation. Reporter Kang Min-woo reports. Reporter President Lee Jae-myung met with U.S. President Trump at an official dinner hosted by Turkish President Erdogan on the occasion of the NATO summit. Meeting 21 days after the G7 summit last month, the two leaders held follow-up consultations regarding the construction of U.S. military vessels discussed at that time. The Blue House reported that they also recalled the promise of a golf meeting mentioned at the time and agreed to pursue a visit to the U.S. and a round of golf at an appropriate time. In his keynote address at the NATO Defense Industry Forum held prior to this, President Lee proposed a new partnership of "making together and using together," going beyond the transaction of weapon systems. [President Lee Jae-myung: I propose elevating this to 'Korea-NATO Defense Industry Partnership 2.0,' where we jointly research, produce, and operate weapon systems.] Taking advantage of the meeting with Secretary General Mark Rutte, negotiations also began to conclude a 'Korea-NATO Framework Agreement on Procurement' to establish an institutional foundation for Korean companies to participate in the NATO joint procurement market for military supplies. On the second day of the summit, President Lee met consecutively with the leaders of Norway and Romania, with whom Korea has maintained defense cooperation, as well as the leaders of Ukraine. [President Lee Jae-myung: Given the current highly unstable international situation, I believe that cooperation and exchange between nations are crucial, especially at times like these.] He pledged comprehensive aid worth $100 million to Ukraine and expressed his intention to join efforts for peace and reconstruction. Having presented a new vision for defense cooperation at the NATO summit, his first since taking office, President Lee will now travel to Mongolia to continue his schedule for a state visit, the first in 15 years.
