MOSCOW -- South Korea and Russia agreed on Friday to work closer together on such infrastructure projects as gas pipelines and railways, with an eye on a potential three-way partnership with North Korea should sanctions against it be lifted.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Russian President Vladimir Putin met here, issuing a joint statement centering on infrastructure cooperation. They also agreed to get the ball rolling at home toward negotiating a free trade agreement, with their initial focus on services and investment. Government agencies and enterprises from both sides signed memorandums of understanding.
