Vice FM to visit US for broader economic talks

SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) - South Korea's Second Vice Foreign Minister Kim Jin-a will visit the U.S. next week to discuss bilateral economic cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday. During her visit from Sunday to Wednesday, Kim is scheduled to meet with U.S. Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Jacob Helberg next Monday to explore ways to strengthen supply chains and expand mutually beneficial economic ties.

Kim will also attend an economic forum the following day, where she is scheduled to deliver a keynote address on industrial cooperation with a focus on shipbuilding and energy. She also plans to meet with U.S. academics to garner broader support for bilateral relations amid changes in the U.S. political landscape following the midterm elections earlier this month.
