Event Description

As the world changes and the Indo-Pacific region becomes more important than ever, the partnership between the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) remains a key ingredient for stability, innovation, and progress.

Join the Korea Economic Institute of America and the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan for a special event that brings together top experts to talk about the future of U.S.–Korea relations, covering  everything from trade and security to shared economic goals. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking conversation about how the U.S. and Korea can work together to build a strong, successful future.

This program is part of the Future of Korea, outreach program that strengthens interest in U.S.-Korea relations with community members, scholars, and students outside of the DC metro area.
