AMCHAM delegation to visit Washington this week
By Mun So-jeong, The
Korea Herald - The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea said Monday its
delegation will travel to Washington this week to meet with key US government
officials and lawmakers.
The three-day trip
to the United States starting Tuesday is part of the annual business-promotion
program it calls “Doorknock.” The delegation will meet with officials of the
Joe Biden administration as well as members of the US Congress to share
insights about US-South Korea economic ties.
The AmCham Korea
delegation is expected to hold some 30 meetings with key figures of the US
Department of Commerce, US Department of State, US Customs and Border
Protection, Office of the US Trade Representative and the White House.
Throughout these
meetings, the delegates will underscore the robust relationship the two
countries have secured over the past seven decades. As this year marks the 70th
anniversary of the South Korea-US alliance, the core discussion will be the
next stage of the two’s partnerships.
The delegation will
also review the US-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework from diverse
perspectives, as they are expected to meet with the White House's Indo-Pacific
coordinator, Kurt Campbell.
“2023 has been a
remarkable year, celebrating seven decades of exceptional friendship between
the US and Korea,” said AmCham Korea Chairman and CEO James Kim. “This year’s
travel to Washington will underscore AmCham’s vital role as a link between the
two governments.”
