Yoon\u2019s four-day visit, following an invitation from King Charles III, marks the 140th anniversary of bilateral relations between the two countries. The visit features a royal ceremony, a speech before the British parliament and a summit with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to discuss enhanced strategic cooperation in technology, trade and security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Korea and Britain are set to adopt the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/uk-and-south-korea-to-agree-new-partnership-to-redefine-and-strengthen-ties-for-next-generation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downing Street Accord<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d to upgrade their relations to a \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.president.go.kr\/newsroom\/press\/HYsvPWmw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">global strategic partnership<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d This accord will emphasize collaboration in the cybersecurity, defense and economic sectors, including joint responses to global issues and revising the South Korea-Britain free trade agreement.

The adoption of the Downing Street Accord, paralleling similar agreements the UK signed with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/5f92c9e1e90e077afd4eba88\/UK-Japan-Trade-Agreement-sectoral-benefits.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Japan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/uk-agrees-new-strategic-partnership-with-singapore\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, will help to deepen relations in technology, defense and security.

South Korean businesses are set to commit more than $26.3 billion of new investment into the UK, backing renewable energy and infrastructure projects and a further $3.76 billion worth of trade. Further, Seoul and London are set to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.president.go.kr\/president\/speeches\/MZWXFdNh\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restart negotiations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to revise the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/5d77867f40f0b61c7704415a\/UK_Korea_Free_Trade_Agreement_v2.pt1.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ROK-UK free trade agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, emphasizing cooperation in supply chains.
