Event Description
As the United States sharpens its focus on the Indo-Pacific, ties with South Korea have become more vital than ever. With a new Korean president and deepening economic and cultural connections, Philadelphia plays an important role—through its sister-city relationship with Incheon and Hanwha’s investment in the Philly Shipyard. Join the Korea Economic Institute of America and the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia for a panel discussion on the future of the U.S.–Korea relationship and Philadelphia’s place within it.
