SOUTH KOREA CALLS FOR SECURITY COOPERATION WITH THE UK- Cho Tae-Yul says the security of Europe and the Indo-Pacific are intertwined
South Korean foreign minister Cho Tae-yul called for deepened security cooperation at a meeting with visiting UK foreign minister David Lammy on Monday at a meeting in Seoul.
Lammy’s visit to South Korea came days after Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused North Korea of preparing to send 10,000 soldiers to help Moscow’s war effort, raising U.S. concerns. NATO chief Mark Rutte has said there was no evidence of Pyongyang’s presence at this stage.
Tensions have also been running high on the Korean peninsula following a series of missile tests this year by nuclear-armed North Korea.
Lammy was recently in China where he promised “consistency” in Britain’s approach to China and described his meeting with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi as “constructive”.
