The chief financial regulators from South Korea and Japan agreed to expand the two nation's cooperation into digital transformation and financial innovation in addition to financial cooperation.
Kim Joo-hyun, chairman of Seoul's Financial Services Commission (FSC), and Teruhisa Kurita, commissioner of Tokyo's Financial Services Agency (FSA), held a meeting in Seoul, the first regular meeting between the top regulators from the two countries in seven years.
