SEOUL, Aug. 7 (Yonhap) -- National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac has met with new U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Michelle Steel for the first time since she took office, a government official said Friday.
The two met recently since Steel assumed her post as ambassador late last month, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Wi, a veteran diplomat, reportedly has prior experience meeting Steel, who previously served as a House representative.
During the meeting, the two likely discussed South Korea-U.S. relations, possibly including pending alliance issues related to South Korean investment commitments in the United States and matters involving U.S.-listed e-commerce platform Coupang.
