Amb. Cho had lunch with @AmbStephens and her team at @KoreaEconInst at his residence. Over lunch, they discussed various issues, from Korea’s growing role in the region and beyond to economic security. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the KEI.
Yesterday, @CSIS hosted a small roundtable at the Blair House with @President_KR to discuss ways to advance the U.S.-ROK alliance.

When @AmbStephens was the first woman U.S. political officer in Seoul, she told @koreasociety, the embassy realized "you didn't have to be a white male for SK establishment to talk to you. You could be Asian, you could be an Asian woman. Once the door comes ajar, it helps a lot."

It was a simpler time -- when a @NYTimes column could be cabled to embassies for urgent attention in the middle of the night. When a foreign service officer in Stockholm complained, the #StateDept reply was classic.
In 2020, @AmbStephens paid tribute to Pvt. Ronald E. Parker, an American soldier from Montana who fought and died in the Korean War. 📽️https://t.co/fFGj4nie6p
His name is now memorialized alongside the many who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The renovated memorial now has a remembrance wall featuring the names of more than 36,000 Americans and over 7,100 KATUSA who died while fighting alongside them.
Did you know it was KEI's 40th anniversary?
We recently hosted a lunch panel to celebrate with attendees ranging from ROK PM Han Duck Soo, former UNSG Ban Ki-Moon, Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Kritenbrink, and many others.
We were deeply honored by their participation!
Speaking in one of his first engagements in Washington DC, Ambassador Cho reiterates the importance of South Korea and the United States building on and expanding the alliance beyond the Korean Peninsula.
US-allied countries in the Asia Pacific “all see – and their publics see – a China that seems a bit more threatening, more aggressive, that is ready to punish countries that displease China in some way,” says former US Ambassador to South Korea @AmbStephens.
President Biden indicating at a press conference that the US would get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if Beijing invaded is undoubtedly significant, says former US Ambassador to South Korea @AmbStephens, particularly because “he has said something like this more than once.”
New South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is not going to have much of a honeymoon period, says Kathleen Stephens @AmbStephens, president and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute of America.
She discusses the challenges that Yoon will face.
