SEOUL (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with South Korea's foreign minister, Cho Hyun, on Friday in Washington, and they discussed burden sharing and fair trade ahead of a planned summit between the two countries, the U.S. Department of State said on Friday.

U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will meet in Washington for a summit on Monday.

Rubio and Cho discussed ways to advance the alliance between the two countries "centered on a forward-looking agenda that enhances deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, increases our collective burden sharing, helps to revitalize American manufacturing, and restores fairness and reciprocity in our trade relationship," according to the State Department's principal deputy spokesperson, Tommy Pigott.
