During the last seventy years, the bilateral relationship between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America has been a lynchpin through which peace and stability has been maintained in Northeast Asia. A relationship that was originally a military alliance has evolved to become a partnership incorporating political, economic, and cultural cooperation as well.
The ongoing pandemic has proven to be another area where the partnership has demonstrated real results, as both country’s governments and businesses have undertaken new measures to cooperate in areas related to health and welfare and worked to reinvigorate bilateral trade.
George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies will host an online discussion with Soo Hyuck Lee, the Korean Ambassador to the United States, as he looks back on the evolution of seventy years of bilateral cooperation and examines what lies ahead for the relationship’s next seventy years. The Korea Policy Forum is made possible by a generous grant provided by the KDI School of Public Policy and Management.
