Argentina and South Korea are set to deepen their cooperation in the critical minerals industry, the Argentine Foreign Ministry announced.
The deal comes one day after Seoul entered a similar partnership with Chile, during a visit to South America by President Lee Jae Myung.
The agreement with Argentina “seeks to promote investments and joint projects in the exploration, extraction, processing and refinement” of critical minerals, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno wrote on X on July 31.
