South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul discussed on Monday with his British counterpart David Lammy, who is currently visiting Seoul, bilateral relations between the two countries.

The two sides underscored the need for South Korea and Britain to work more closely to address common security challenges, including North Korea’s deployment of troops to fight Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.

On South Korea’s bilateral relations with Britain, Cho noted the efforts by the two sides to further enhance the ties across many fields, from diplomacy, economy and climate change to artificial intelligence, hoping that the partnership will continue to move forward.

Lammy called South Korea a country that “shares the past and future” with Britain and hoped for the continued development in the bilateral relations.
