The governments of Canada and Korea signed an agreement last week to lay the ground for bilateral cooperation in science, technology and innovation.
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Seoul on Dec. 20, Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and Canadian Ambassador to Korea Eric Walsh inked the Science, Technology and Innovation Agreement, which builds on head of state visits in 2014.
The accord sets in motion an institutional framework for civilian activities of common interest, mutual benefit and equal partnership, covering aviation and space, the environment, energy and clean technology, life sciences, medical devices and information and communications technology, according to a joint press release from the governments.
