Hanwha Ocean mounted an extensive campaign combining government diplomacy, industrial partnerships and investment proposals to compete for Canada's next-generation submarine programme. What made its bid competitive, and what ultimately shaped Ottawa's decision?

Despite recent failed bid for submarine program, ROK still has chances to contribute to Canada's defense modernization efforts; as a part of "middle power coalition"

South Korea is rapidly incorporating physical AI into its armed forces.
It has the potential to become a global leader in this area and to support its security partners’ efforts to develop AI-enabled uninhabited and robotic capabilities.

Critical raw-material trade flows have become caught up in the broader United States–China trade war. Since August 2023, Beijing has imposed increasingly extensive and stringent export controls on critical minerals, with wide-ranging implications not only for civilian industry but also for defence manufacturing.
Other states have become collateral damage in US–China competition, including South Korea. Its defence industry faces growing risks from potential supply disruptions and price surges in critical minerals. Although Seoul is taking steps to reduce its reliance on Chinese supplies and enhance international cooperation for supply-chain resilience, these measures will take time to bear fruit.
