Minister JK (Jung-Kwan) Kim of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources (MOTIR) met with Alparslan Bayraktar, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Türkiye, on February 25, 2026, at the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) in Seoul.
The two ministers discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation in trade and investment, nuclear energy, and resource development.
Minister Kim welcomed the continued engagement between companies in both countries under the nuclear power cooperation MOU signed in November 2025. He also urged Korea and Türkiye to step up resource cooperation to bolster supply-chain resilience amid rising protectionism and economic fragmentation, including cooperation on critical minerals and the sourcing of materials, parts, and equipment.
