South Korea and the US are stepping up efforts to resolve a dispute over electric-vehicle subsidies, as they seek closer cooperation on Asia-Pacific supply chains, Seoul’s top trade negotiator said.

The two sides will begin talks Friday as part of an engagement channel agreed earlier this month in Washington, Korean Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun said Wednesday in an interview.
