Vice Minister of Trade, Industry and Resources Moon Shin-hak attended the Korea–Sweden Sustainable Partnership Summit, held at the Grand Hyatt Seoul on Thursday, October 16, as part of economic events marking the visit of Swedish Crown Princess Victoria to Korea.
The annual summit, launched following reciprocal visits by the leaders of both countries in 2019, aims to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation. This year’s discussions focused on strategic collaboration to enhance sustainability and resilience in response to global trade challenges such as climate change, energy transition, and rising geopolitical tensions.
The event brought together around 200 participants, including Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, government officials, and major business leaders from both countries. Participants exchanged views on the role of leadership in building a resilient future and on linking AI with sustainability. In addition, three memoranda of understanding (MOUs) were signed between Korean and Swedish companies and research institutes in the fields of power, semiconductors, and offshore wind, creating a foundation for mutually beneficial private-sector cooperation.
In his congratulatory remarks, Vice Minister Moon emphasized the need for Korea and Sweden to strengthen their strategic partnership grounded in pragmatism amid growing global trade uncertainty. He stated, “Through this summit, the two countries should develop a practical roadmap that encompasses both sustainability and security to generate new growth momentum, and the Korean government will fully support future-oriented cooperation with Sweden.”
