Foreign Minister Cho Hyun announced on March 6 that a South Korean delegation plans to visit the United States to discuss rights for uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing. This follows delays due to the Middle East war and stems from security cooperation agreed upon after last year's summit between Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump. The talks aim to adjust the existing civil nuclear agreement.
South Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright met in Washington to reaffirm the need for swift progress in Seoul's efforts to secure civil uranium enrichment and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing rights, as well as to acquire nuclear-powered submarines. The meeting discussed the implementation of a joint fact sheet (JFS) released in November, outlining trade and security agreements from summits between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump in August and October.
