MEXICO CITY, Sept. 24 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Thursday described Mexico as an "indispensable strategic partner" and stressed the need to deepen bilateral economic cooperation amid global economic uncertainties.

Lee made the remarks at a meeting that he jointly hosted with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, according to senior South Korean presidential secretary for public affairs Seong Ghi-hong. The meeting was attended by dozens of business leaders from both countries.

Lee said the two countries are indispensable strategic partners to each other, and need to elevate their economic cooperation at a time when global economic uncertainties are growing, with global supply chains undergoing rapid changes, according to Seong.

The South Korean president also pledged to support the successful implementation of Sheinbaum's vision, called "Plan Mexico," which she unveiled last year to strengthen industrial competitiveness and expand infrastructure.

The meeting discussed ways to strengthen investment and trade between South Korean and Mexican companies, the presidential secretary said. Participants included SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo.

Seong quoted South Korean corporate leaders as stressing during the meeting that bilateral cooperation is expanding beyond traditional sectors, such as automobiles and household appliances, to include the electricity, energy, mobility and beauty industries.

They, in particular, stressed the importance of fostering stable conditions in Mexico for corporate activities, expressing hope that an economic pact will be promptly signed between the two countries to bolster bilateral economic cooperation.

墨西哥城，9月24日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周四称墨西哥是“不可或缺的战略伙伴”，并强调在全球经济不确定的情况下，有必要深化双边经济合作。

据韩国总统府公共事务高级秘书成基洪透露，李明博是在与墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·欣鲍姆共同主持的会议上发表上述言论的。两国数十位商界领袖出席了此次会议。

据成先生称，李表示，两国是彼此不可或缺的战略伙伴，在全球经济不确定性日益加剧、全球供应链正在经历快速变化的当下，两国需要提升经济合作水平。

总统秘书表示，会议讨论了加强韩国和墨西哥企业间投资和贸易的途径。SK集团董事长崔泰源和LG集团董事长具光模等出席了会议。

Seong援引韩国企业领导人的话说，他们在会晤中强调，双边合作正在从汽车和家用电器等传统领域扩展到电力、能源、交通和美容行业。
