The Netherlands and South Korea are stepping up cooperation in the field of semiconductor chips as part of a deepening “strategic partnership,” caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Wednesday.
As part of the visit, South Korean nuclear power company KHNP signed a contract to carry out a feasibility study into the construction of two new nuclear power plants in the southern Dutch town of Borselle. U.S. company Westinghouse and France’s EDF will soon sign similar contracts, the Dutch government announced.
The Netherlands and South Korea also agreed to increase cooperation in digital technologies including artificial intelligence, mobile communications and quantum research, Economic Affairs and Climate Minister Micky Adriaansens said in a statement.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Dutch leader spoke after a meeting with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during his two-day state visit.
Their meeting came a day after Yoon visited the headquarters of semiconductor chip machine maker ASML.
U.S. company Westinghouse and France’s EDF will soon sign similar contracts, the Dutch government announced.
Borselle, near the border with Belgium and the North Sea coast, is home to the Netherlands’ only nuclear power station.
The Netherlands and South Korea also agreed to increase cooperation in digital technologies including artificial intelligence, mobile communications and quantum research, Economic Affairs and Climate Minister Micky Adriaansens said in a statement.
Yoon’s visit comes less than a month after he also agreed to build stronger trade and defense ties with the United Kingdom.
