SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea and the United States have agreed to further strengthen a partnership on nuclear energy, Seoul's foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

Kim Jina, South Korea's vice foreign minister, met James Danly, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy, on Wednesday, the ministry said in a statement.

The two countries had "meaningful" discussions on nuclear energy cooperation at the recent summit between South Korea President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump, the ministry said.
