Vice FM meets U.S. Stimson Center delegation to discuss alliance, Korean Peninsula issues

On Thursday, South Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo met with a delegation from the Stimson Center, a U.S. foreign policy and national security think tank. The meeting focused on the Korea-U.S. alliance, Korean Peninsula issues, and broader regional and global affairs, as announced by the South Korean foreign ministry.

The delegation, led by the Stimson Center's acting President and CEO Rachel Stohl, discussed the need for strong U.S. support for the alliance. Park stressed the importance of broad U.S. academic and policy backing for the joint fact sheet adopted by the two countries' leaders last year, and urged the Stimson Center to actively promote understanding of the alliance and Korean Peninsula issues.

The delegation highlighted their ongoing interest in bilateral cooperation, particularly in shipbuilding and defense industries, and pledged to explore ways to help implement key agreements and foster future-oriented collaboration between the allies.
