With the support of Pantech and the Korea Foundation, The Korea Society travels to Seattle for policy and arts programs. On November 14, The Korea Society and The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington co-host a policy roundtable titled Negotiating with North Korea: Lessons Learned and Prospects Forward, featuring Ambassador Thomas C. Hubbard, Chairman of The Korea Society; Ambassador Mark Minton, President of The Korea Society; and Dr. Robert Carlin, Visiting Fellow at the Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation. The policy forum is open to UW faculty and graduate students, area corporate and foundation leaders, and the general public.
Following the afternoon policy event, The Korea Society presents an evening of Buk and Blues, as Senior Vice President Dr. Stephen Noerper introduces the Pak Vongku Trio, featuring Korean master percussionist Pak Vongku, guitarist John Chang, and bassist Jorge Mesa. The concert, an East-meets-West nod to the rich musical legacy of the Seattle area, celebrates the Korea-U.S. partnership and the recent State Visit by Korean President Lee Myung Bak to Washington, DC, for a summit with President Obama.
On November 15, University of Washington graduate students gather for Careers Korea and Careers Asia, a discussion with The Korea Society Assistant Director of Policy, Nikita Desai, who will share insights from her development and non-profit work, as well efforts with The Korea Society.
