The head of the American business chamber in Korea on Friday highlighted the country's resilience in dealing with ongoing political chaos triggered by a botched martial law order last month.
In his meeting with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik, James Kim, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM), said the chamber has "engaged with our ecosystem and foreign media to highlight the long-term stability and strength of the Korean economy."
Kim added, "We believe in Korea's resilience."
He said the AMCHAM plans to send a delegation to Washington in the coming weeks to emphasize the importance of further deepening bilateral industrial collaboration in key sectors.
"We will highlight the economic contributions of record-breaking Korean investments in the U.S. and how bilateral trade dynamics reflect this partnership," Kim said.
The chairman also stressed the need for the Korean government to showcase its commitment to deregulation and economic stimulus measures to address concerns over potential U.S. tariff increases under the second Donald Trump administration. (Yonhap)
