“We have something more than K-pop and K-drama,” he said with a chuckle, referring to genres of music and television shows from the country that have become popular around the world. Both countries have been longtime allies and trading partners and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly has said the relationship with each is so natural that Ottawa has at times taken it for granted. But global instability is a time to shore up these bonds, she said.
Lim said South Korean companies are concerned about overreliance on Chinese suppliers. The ambassador said that’s why Trudeau’s visit will focus on supply-chain resilience, with the clean-energy transition at “the top of the agenda.” Stellantis stopped construction on Monday, saying the federal government “has not delivered on what was agreed to.” The federal government says negotiations are ongoing.He said South Korean companies are investing big in hydrogen ammonia plants around the world, and curious about expanding in Canada. The ambassador tallies the current investments into Canadian green technologies at $8 billion.
