Senior diplomats from South Korea and the United States discussed efforts to strengthen their alliance through public diplomacy on April 1. They explored joint initiatives including digital communication and people-to-people exchanges, and signed a memorandum for the US 250th independence anniversary. The US expressed concerns over South Korea's recent online misinformation law revision.
South Korea's trade ministry said on January 8 it will expand communications with the United States to avert potential conflicts over revisions to the country's network law. Last week, the U.S. State Department voiced "significant" concerns about a recently passed amendment to the Information and Communications Network Act, aimed at curbing false online information, warning it could spark trade tensions. To mitigate this, the ministry plans to intensify outreach on non-tariff trade barriers.
