In their first phone conversation since Lee took office early this month, the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues to strengthen bilateral cooperation across various fields.
According to Kang, Wong congratulated Lee on his election and expressed hope for closer ties, as this year marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The two leaders also agreed to "establish a strategic partnership" in key areas including artificial intelligence (AI), while promoting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
Lee invited Wong to attend the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, scheduled to take place in the historic southern city of Gyeongju in late October, with Wong expressing confidence in South Korea's successful hosting of the event.
