South Korea is actively promoting international cooperation in smart mobility and intelligent transport systems (ITS). In September 2026, South Korean officials proposed expanding APEC cooperation on AI and autonomous driving, emphasizing the need for shared technical standards, cybersecurity, and data protection.

By October 2026, this focus on digital transport expanded to bilateral relations with Malaysia. During the ITS World Congress in Gangneung, both nations discussed strengthening strategic cooperation in highway infrastructure and modern management methods, specifically through technical exchanges between the Malaysian Highway Authority and the Korea Expressway Corporation.
