- The forthcoming North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
(NATO) summit in the Netherlands is a timely opportunity for South Korea to
reassert its commitment to the rules-based order as a key US ally while
simultaneously furthering its economic and security interests.
- Through this investment and through the support of
companies such as US tech giant OpenAI, Lee intends to transform South Korea
into one of the top three global powerhouses in AI.
- If Lee attends the summit, his participation could bolster NATO’s confidence about South Korea’s commitment to the US-led rules-based order despite growing South Korea-China economic engagement.
