U.S.-ROK New Economic Paradigm

In recent years, the U.S. and South Korea have broadened the scope of the bilateral relationship. Historically focused on military security, the U.S.-ROK relationship has now advanced into a comprehensive partnership of closer economic interdependence, building on the foundation set by the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) which went into effect a decade ago. The Korea Society’s U.S.-ROK New Economic Paradigm program series invites industry-renowned speakers across public and private sectors, business, and academia to gain insights into the dynamics and implications surrounding this marked paradigm shift. In this series, the speakers will explore key topics ranging from the strategic importance of U.S.-ROK relations from the business, economic, and technological angles to how the U.S. and South Korea can deepen economic cooperation.
