The longstanding alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea goes back six decades. Today,

Korea is the United States' seventh largest trading partner. The Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement is pending

Congressional approval and would be the United States' most significant trade agreement since NAFTA, adding

$10bn to annual exports to South Korea and raising cross-investment and other economic partnerships.

Come listen to thoughts on business opportunities, as well as current political security affairs.
