Foreign Minister Cho Hyun concluded a three-day visit to Washington on Friday, where she engaged in discussions with U.S. lawmakers regarding bilateral ties, matters concerning the Korean Peninsula, and overall global security. During her stay, Cho met individually with Senator Bill Hagerty (Republican-Tennessee), Congressman Jim Jordan (Republican-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Congressman Gregory Meeks (Democrat-New York) on Thursday.
In her conversations with these officials, Cho emphasized the increasing significance of strong collaboration between Seoul and Washington as the international landscape continues to evolve swiftly. She appealed for the U.S. Congress' cooperative assistance to guarantee the prompt execution of the Joint Fact Sheet (JFS). The JFS, issued in November following a summit between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump, enumerates a series of commitments from both nations, such as Seoul's commitment to invest $350 billion in the United States in return for a reduced U.S. tariff rate, alongside cooperation in the nuclear domain and other security-related matters. Senator Hagerty expressed his appreciation for Seoul's endeavors.
