Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Visits Bombardier Plant in Toronto: Global 6500 to Serve as Korea's Early Warning Platform
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea said Foreign Minister Cho Hyun visited the Bombardier assembly plant at Toronto Pearson International Airport on November 13, 2026, during his visit to Canada for the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting.
Cho noted Bombardier's significant contribution to enhancing Korea's defence capabilities, highlighting that the company's Global 6500 will serve as a common platform for special mission aircraft, including the Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft scheduled to be introduced into the Korean Air Force. He said he was pleased to witness reciprocal security and defence cooperation between Korea and Canada as the scope of their shared strategic interests expands.
Cho also expressed Korea's commitment to actively contribute to Canada's defence modernization, including the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, just as Canada has helped strengthen Korea's defence capabilities, and hoped for continued close collaboration with Bombardier, a major player in Canada's defence industry. Bombardier officials gave Cho a tour of the main facilities and conveyed their desire to expand defence and aviation cooperation with Korea.
