South Korea and the United States ended another round of negotiations this week on determining Seoul’s share of the cost for stationing the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), a foreign ministry official said Thursday.
The sixth round of the talks on the Special Measures Agreement (SMA) took place from Monday to Wednesday in Washington, according to the official. The current six-year SMA is due to expire at the end of next year.
“South Korea and the United States held focused consultations for substantive progress in both sides’ major areas of interest,” the official said.
