Mike Dunleavy, the governor of Alaska, will visit South Korea from the 25th to the 26th to meet with government officials and key corporations in the country. Officials from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sector are also expected to accompany him to discuss energy cooperation between the U.S. and South Korea.
According to the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) on the 25th, Governor Dunleavy will hold meetings with Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who is acting on behalf of President Yoon Suk-yeol, Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Ahn Duk-geun, U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Joseph Yun, as well as major corporations including SK, POSCO, and Hanwha.
AMCHAM noted that it facilitated the meetings between Governor Dunleavy and key figures in the country, stating that strategic discussions are planned with domestic corporations in core industries such as energy, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing, and that outcomes such as investment expansion, strengthened supply chain collaboration, and the establishment of sustainable economic partnerships are expected.
In particular, representatives from the Glenn Farne Group, a partner in the Alaska LNG project, and the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) are also expected to accompany him to discuss ways to expand energy cooperation between the two countries.
James Kim, chairman and CEO of AMCHAM, said, "AMCHAM will continue to actively support the expansion of cooperation between the two countries and help South Korea position itself as a global business hub."
