Korea and U.S. Relations

09/18/2018 1:00 AM

U.S. relations with both Koreas are in a state of flux, and the degree of uncertainty is making for an unprecedented diplomatic situation. Defense Secretary James Mattis calls the relationship between the U.S. and the ROK the “linchpin of peace” in the entire Asian Pacific region.

With this high-stake relationship as its focus, “The Future of Korea” program is sure to be a lively discussion at Bradley this Thursday. Expert panelists from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, the U.S. Department of State on North Korea and the Korean Economic Institute will address the economic, political and security relationship between Korea and the United States. They will also share their perspective on recent developments in these sectors.

This program, happening in the Michel Student Center ballroom, will begin at 7 p.m. There is also an optional dinner at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available at 309-677-2454 or www.pawac.org.

Co-sponsors of this program include the Peoria Area World Affairs Council, Korea Economic Institute of America and the World Affairs Councils of America.
