GYEONGJU, South Korea (Reuters) -Amazon Web Services will invest at least $5 billion in South Korea by 2031 to build new artificial intelligence data centres in the Asian country, South Korea's presidential office said on Wednesday. The announcement was made during AWS chief executive officer Matt Garman's meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Lee's office said in a statement. Amazon is one of seven global firms whose executives attended the group meeting with Lee in Gyeongju, South Korea, and pledged a total of $9 billion in investments for the next five years, the Korean presidential office said. Amazon's investment will accelerate the growth of an ecosystem for the AI industry in South Korea, as the country aims to become one of the world's top three AI leaders, Lee said at the meeting with Garman. AWS unveiled in June a $5 billion investment plan in South Korea with local conglomerate SK Group for building the country's biggest data centre. (Reporting by Heejin Kim; Editing by Himani Sarkar)
