정부 "한미, 민감국가 문제 절차 따라 조속히 해결 협력 합의" As key agenda lie ahead, Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun was back in Washington in three weeks, this time, to relay concerns over the U.S.' so-called sensitive country list. The two countries agreed to swiftly resolve the issue. Shin Ha-young has the details. South Korea and the U.S. have agreed to work together to resolve the issue of South Korea being placed on the U.S. Department of Energy's "Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List" during Minister Ahn Duk-geun's visit to Washington. On Friday, the trade ministry said Ahn raised concerns about the designation in his first meeting with U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and both sides agreed to address the matter swiftly. If South Korea remains on the list, new restrictions on research collaboration and visits to institutions affiliated with the U.S. energy department will take effect starting April 15. However, Ahn stated that Washington does not expect the designation to significantly impact bilateral scientific cooperation. Seoul hasn't been removed from the list yet, but securing U.S. cooperation increases the likelihood of changes before it takes effect next month. His visit comes at a crucial time, ahead of the new Trump administration’s anticipated tariff announcement on April 2nd, and securing a favorable position is another key objective for the talks. "Our priority is to seek South Korea’s removal from the “Sensitive and Other Designated Countries List”. If immediate removal is not possible, we will work on alternative solutions to ensure that this designation does not hinder scientific and industrial collaboration between our nations." The two officials also agreed to strengthen energy cooperation in areas such as LNG, hydrogen, power grids and nuclear energy including small modular reactors. Ahn said the visit to the U.S. provided an opportunity to confirm both sides' commitment to resolving the sensitive country designation issue and to strengthen the momentum of Korea-U.S. energy cooperation. During his two-day visit to the U.S. Ahn will also meet with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. With the U.S. set to impose new tariffs worldwide on April 2, Ahn plans to share South Korea's government and industry stances with Lutnick, whom he met just three weeks ago.
