SEOUL, April 2 (Yonhap) -- Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo met with visiting U.S. lawmakers from the Congressional Study Group on Korea (CSGK) on Thursday to discuss cooperation in trade and investment, Yeo's office said.
Yeo met with six members of the CSGK in Seoul and exchanged views on pending trade issues between South Korea and the United States, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources. The U.S. lawmakers are Ami Bera (D-CA), Ryan Zinke (R-MT), Mark Pocan (D-WI), Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Jill Tokuda (D-HI) and Patrick Harrigan (R-NC).
In the meeting, the two sides agreed that Seoul-Washington ties have moved beyond a simple security alliance into economic and technological areas and discussed ways to further expand bilateral cooperation in trade and investment.
Yeo highlighted South Korea's efforts to expand strategic cooperation with the U.S., including the country's recent legislation of a special U.S. investment act to implement their tariff agreement finalized late last year, calling for CSGK's support, the ministry said.
