SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean industry ministry officials are considering travelling soon to Alaska as part of working-level negotiations between the United States and South Korea over Alaska's gas project, the ministry said on Tuesday.

If South Korea is able to win concessions from Washington over auto tariffs, Seoul could in turn look at participating in the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, Yonhap News Agency cited vice industry minister Choe Nam-ho as saying on Tuesday.

Still, no decision has been made on whether South Korea will join the project and whether its participation will be included in negotiations with the U.S. over tariffs, the ministry said in a statement after media reports suggesting participation in the project could be part of a negotiation package.
