Canada and South Korea have entered into a new agreement to bolster cooperation on defence procurement, industrial security, and research, officials have announced.
The agreement comes several months after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s October meeting with President Lee Jae Myung in South Korea to finalize the Canada-Republic of Korea Security and Defence Cooperation Partnership (SDCP).
