President Yoon Seok-yeol met with the CEO of ASML, the world’s No.
Spokesman Lee Do-woon of the Presidential Office said that today (28th), President Yoon had an interview with Peter Bennink, CEO of ASML of the Netherlands, who was visiting Korea at the Yongsan Presidential Office.
At this meeting, President Yoon highly evaluated the status of ASML, which is the only supplier of extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment essential for semiconductor ultra-fine processes, in the global semiconductor supply chain, and asked for expansion of cooperation with Korean companies, spokesman Lee said.
President Yoon also agreed with Chairman Bennink on the necessity and importance of global cooperation for the expansion and development of the semiconductor industry ecosystem, and the Hwaseong Cluster to be created in the future will become a center for strengthening cooperation between domestic materials, parts, and equipment companies and ASML. He said he hoped to contribute to strengthening the semiconductor industry ecosystem.
ASML held a groundbreaking ceremony to build a ‘semiconductor equipment cluster’ in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do in November last year.
