It was decided to quickly operate working-level consultative bodies in each field, such as cooperation in nuclear submarines and shipbuilding industry.
Press releases were distributed by both sides without a joint statement, but the information on nuclear energy and nuclear submarines emphasized by Korea was missing from the U.S. State Department’s materials. There is an analysis that the speed of implementation in each field may differ due to differences in the points that the two countries view as important. In response to this, the Korean government’s position is that there is no difference in views between the two sides as it has announced an agreement on the issue with the United States.
An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 2nd and said, “There are some views that there are differences in the announcements of both sides,” and “I do not think so.”
An official said, “The U.S. announcement also clearly states that it evaluated the success of the ROK-U.S. summit held in Gyeongju and discussed the implementation of the fact sheet in that context.”
