Since then, Lee has visited Brazil, Chile and Argentina, where he held summits with the countries' leaders to strengthen cooperation on critical mineral supplies and other bilateral issues.

In Frankfurt, Lee will meet with members of the Korean community in Germany before returning to Seoul later Sunday.

In Buenos Aires, Lee held a summit with his Argentine counterpart, President Javier Milei, during which the two leaders agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation on critical minerals, including by pursuing joint projects across the entire lithium value chain.

They also agreed to enhance cooperation on South Korea's imports of Argentine crude oil beginning next year while pledging to work toward the prompt resumption of negotiations on a free trade agreement between South Korea and the South American trade bloc Mercosur.

On Friday, President Lee Jae Myung said that South Korea and Argentina will usher in a new era of cooperation, saying closer bilateral collaboration is strategically more important than ever. Lee made the remarks at a meeting with members of the South Korean community in Argentina.

"I am confident that a new era of cooperation between Argentina and South Korea will fully unfold," the president said.

"Amid the changing international order, from the artificial intelligence revolution to shifts in global supply chains, strategic bilateral cooperation is more important than ever," he said.

Lee stressed that cooperation between South Korea and Argentina is entering a stage of tangible results, with bilateral collaboration expanding to critical minerals, including lithium, as well as energy and infrastructure.
