The agreement was reached during summit talks between President Lee Jae Myung and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome on Friday.
The two sides also agreed to hold regular high-level talks to strengthen their political coordination on global issues ahead of South Korea’s G20 chairmanship in 2028.
