Calling Latvia a "cooperative partner that shares universal values such as liberal democracy, the rule of law, and human rights," Ahn said during the meeting that Mierina's visit to South Korea would help broaden practical cooperation between the two countries.
While discussing ways to expand bilateral cooperation in defense, the two agreed to strengthen strategic communication and cooperation amid growing global uncertainty including the prolonged conflict in the Middle East, and to support peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Europe.
Ahn highlighted South Korea's defense technology and its stable production and logistics capabilities, expressing hope that South Korean defense firms could contribute to Latvia's efforts to strengthen its defense.
They also agreed to work together on drones and counter-drone systems, with plans to deepen industrial cooperation and build more stable supply chains in a forward-looking, mutually beneficial way.
