It should be a good meeting. Korea has an excellent reputation for technology and world trade.

S Korea should partnership with companies like European Airbus which is leading company in air industry and involve in more partnership because R&D is very expensive and long testing process to finish a product thus they need S Korea as much as it need EU against US companies that usually has too many restriction of transfer of even low technology. Europeans are good at new invention and S Korea is good at using those invention to mass produce in most efficient ways. It's a good merge of partnership and both are good with honoring it's promise with sharing costs together in fair manner. After Korean War, EU countries like UK, Germany and France invested more money to S Korea than the US for its development.
