South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hold a summit in Seoul and agree to expand cooperation, including in nuclear energy and defence. Lee says the talks cover closer collaboration tied to Turkey’s large power project, alongside work in other sectors.
The countries also plan to cooperate on infrastructure and other areas mentioned by Seoul’s side, including biotechnology and critical minerals. Several outlets add background on the leaders’ recent contact, noting Erdogan’s visit to South Korea and that he has not been there since 2018.
Different coverage focuses on different aspects: some lead with the nuclear and defence cooperation, while others emphasize the broader strategic partnership and the wider agenda, including references to possible discussion of security situations involving the Korean Peninsula and the Middle East. One outlet also highlights the planned sequence of events around the summit, such as memorandums of understanding, joint announcements and a formal dinner.
