I was very pleased to hold my first telephone conversation with Prime Minister Rob Jetten of the Netherlands.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1961, our two countries have built a steadfast partnership across a wide range of fields over the past 65 years. In particular, cooperation between our countries in the semiconductor sector is truly exceptional, with boundless potential for the future as well.
If the Republic of Korea, a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing, and the Netherlands, which possesses significant strengths in advanced semiconductor equipment, continue to work closely together, we will be able to make a substantial contribution to stabilizing the global semiconductor supply chain.
It was also meaningful to exchange views with Prime Minister Jetten on a range of issues, including developments in the Middle East. Going forward, we will continue to communicate closely and further expand cooperation between our two countries.
