The two heavyweights took a seat post the Korea-U.S. Integrated Defense Dialogue (KIDD) meeting, where they collaborated to shore up security for both the Korean Peninsula and the Indo-Pacific region [1][2].
Though the details of their private chats remain under wraps, their tête-à-tête was painted as a platform to brainstorm ideas for beefing up the bilateral alliance between South Korea and the United States, mirroring the broader goals of the KIDD [1][2]. Top conversation topics most probably revolved around strategic alliances to counter regional security threats, optimization of their military pact, and synchronizing policymaking relevant to both Korea and the Indo-Pacific. However, particular items on the agenda or the outcomes of their parley aren't disclosed in the on-point reports [1].
