Minister Cohen, in response, vowed “sufficient support” for Lotte, adding that global companies have already set up research and development units in Israel in search of startups developing breakthrough technologies.
Shin and Cohen also shared views on growing expectations for bilateral economic ties between Korea and Israel as the two countries have been speeding up efforts to finalize negotiations for a free trade agreement.
Shin is on his first trip to Israel to visit startups and research institutes, officials said, adding that Lotte has keen interest in artificial intelligence and robots to create new service platforms.
