Over the last seven decades, the United States and the Republic of Korea have built and deepened their security alliance, economic partnership, and people-to-people ties. With the recent development in U.S.-Korea-Japan trilateral cooperation and growing confrontation with China, Russia, and North Korea, what would the next decades of U.S.-Korea relations look like?

Please join the Nam Center for Korean Studies and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy's Weiser Diplomacy Center as we welcome distinguished diplomats from two countries to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.

A panel discussion among ambassadors will include the South Korean Ambassador to the United States, Hyundong Cho, and the U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, Philip Goldberg. The Panel will be moderated by former U.S. Ambassador to Brunei Dan Shields and opening remarks will be offered by the Weiser Diplomacy Center's Director and former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Sudan Susan Page.

These ambassadors will share their unique perspectives on the significance of the U.S.-Korea security alliance for not only bilateral relations but also the broader Indo-Pacific region and the ever-evolving economic partnership between the two nations, including the ties between Korea and Michigan.

This event is part of KEI's Ambassadors' Dialogue Program, which brings ambassadors to different U.S. cities to discuss the importance of the U.S.-Korea relationship. Don't miss this unique opportunity to meet and hear directly from the current and former ambassadors!
