Korea and the United States launched their first round of talks Tuesday to implement a set of security agreements reached by their leaders last year, including Seoul's push to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, officials said.
The inaugural two-day talks began at around 10 a.m. at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Seoul, focusing on security-related provisions in a bilateral joint fact sheet issued following a summit between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump in October.
