S. Korea, Canada to hold '2+2' talks of foreign, defense chiefs next week

SEOUL, Feb. 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Canada will hold their "two plus two" talks of their foreign and defense ministers in Ottawa next week to discuss ways to improve their bilateral ties, Seoul's foreign ministry said Friday.

The talks, scheduled for Wednesday, will be followed by the signing of a joint military and defense intelligence-sharing pact and a press conference, according to the ministry.

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will hold separate bilateral talks with his Canadian counterpart, Anita Anand, on the margins of next week's meeting.

South Korea and Canada last held their two plus two talks among top foreign and defense officials in Ottawa in November 2024.
