South Korea and New Zealand have agreed to cooperate in order to achieve results in the field of quantum communication.
The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on August 28 that the "6th Korea-New Zealand Joint Committee on Science and Technology" was held in the main conference room of the Science and Technology Advisory Council, where this agreement was reached.
The two countries signed a science and technology cooperation agreement in 1997 and have alternately hosted the joint committee since 2007, making this the sixth meeting. This year's joint committee was led by Hwang Sunghoon, Director-General for International Cooperation at the Ministry of Science and ICT, and Robin Henderson, General Manager for Economic Development at New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). A total of about 20 delegates attended, including representatives from academia, industry, and research institutions from both countries.
During the meeting, the latest science and technology policies of both countries were presented, and participants discussed the outcomes of joint research projects conducted by researchers from both countries, as well as strategies for commercialization. In addition, starting this year, the two countries have selected quantum communication as a joint research project in the field of advanced technology and agreed to cooperate to achieve meaningful results.
