South Korean and Russian officials will discuss bilateral economic cooperation, including energy and space development programs, in Seoul in late September, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said on Monday.
The two sides will hold their ninth joint economic committee meeting in Seoul from Sept. 22 to Sept. 23 ahead of a scheduled summit between South Korean and Russian leaders, it said.
The two sides will discuss overall economic cooperation in the development of the Russian Far East and Siberia, cooperation in space development, energy and transportation issues, and the automobile, construction, agriculture and fisheries industries, Yonhap quoted South Korean Embassy in Moscow as saying.
The two-way trade volume between South Korea and Russia stood at 15 billion U.S. dollars in 2007, representing almost six-fold growth in five years, Yonhap said.
