Seoul: South Korea`s antitrust body said on Wednesday it would cooperate with counterparts in Europe and the United States as part of the regulator`s investigation into US chip maker Qualcomm Inc .
The Korea Fair Trade Commission did not specify what it was investigating Qualcomm for, but the company is facing regulatory probes into alleged anti-competitive practices in several countries and agreed to pay a $975 million fine in China early this year following a 14-month investigation.
The Korea Fair Trade Commission, in a statement, said its officials met counterparts from the European Commission on Monday and agreed to hold "working-level discussions" about the Qualcomm probe. It added that it would also work with the United States and other countries and examine similar cases abroad.
It gave no further details.
