S. Korea’s foreign minister to attend NATO foreign ministers’ meeting in Belgium

South Korea's top diplomat will be heading to Belgium to attend the NATO foreign ministers' meeting this week, in what will mark the fourth straight year that a Korean official is attending the multilateral gathering.

Foreign minister Cho Tae-yul is scheduled to take part in the session on NATO allies and Indo-Pacific partners where he will likely seek ways to boost security cooperation with Europe.

He is also set to attend a trilateral meeting with his Japanese and Chinese counterparts, held on the sidelines.

They expected to address security issues related to North Korea, as well as ways to strengthen economic cooperation amid reciprocal tariff threats from the Trump administration.
