The Stimson Center’s Korea Program will be hosting a series of events throughout the southwest region on the status, future, and importance of the alliance between the US and Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea). The program will include the following visits:

The strength of the US-ROK alliance holds enduring value for the US and local communities against today’s evolving geopolitical challenges and in pursuing our collective goals of freedom, democracy, security, and economic prosperity. The conversation will delve into how the US-ROK alliance reflects these shared aims and values through all facets of the relationship and the benefit of this relationship for the American population on both local and national levels. Following the US presidential election, discussion will also address how the election’s outcome may impact the future of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, and the alliance’s role in the US Indo-Pacific strategy and in joint leadership on addressing global issues.

This program is made possible through the support of the Korea Foundation.
