The Korea Society and U.S.-Korea Business Council invite you to an insightful discussion among senior national-security and business leaders on the necessity for the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA). Trade and investment between the two countries represent a significant engine of economic growth, accounting for hundreds of thousands of American and Korean jobs.

Mindful of changing dynamics and emerging trends, Korea and the United States have taken key steps toward a high-standard, market-opening KORUS FTA that have accompanied a strategic realignment of U.S. forces in Korea and efforts to address common challenges, including energy security, climate change, and nuclear security. Economic and security leaders see common cause in strengthening cooperation against a backdrop of the FTA. The June 2 noon dialogue will be the first in a series of activities at The Korea Society marking the significance of the Korea-U.S. relationship on the sixtieth anniversary of the start of the Korean War.
