South Korea visit to 'deepen and strengthen' relations with the United States, top Commerce official says.
A top Department of Commerce official's visit to South Korea is intended to "find ways to deepen and strengthen" the connection between the two countries, and to build off the President of South Korea's state visit to the United States earlier this year, according to the Deputy Secretary of Commerce.
The deputy secretary said the two countries are aligned on a host of issues, including ensuring democratic norms, standards and values. North Korea, one of the main threats identified by intelligence agencies in cyberspace, is known for launching state sponsored cyberattacks, according to the United States. Graves said meetings like he is having in South Korea and, later in the week, in Japan help to ensure the countries have the "best of class" from companies to combat any potential cyber threat.
