Scholars from South Korea and China have called for deeper cooperation in emerging technologies, even as competition intensifies and global fragmentation worsens. The appeal was made during a recent forum in Seoul, according to reports from Yonhap News Agency and other outlets.
The discussions focused on areas such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and biotechnology, where both countries have significant capabilities. Participants emphasized that collaboration could help mitigate risks from supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions.
While no specific agreements were announced, the forum highlighted the importance of maintaining dialogue and joint research initiatives. The scholars noted that technological decoupling would harm both economies and global innovation.
