The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AmCham Korea) hosted a luncheon meeting with Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, providing a valuable forum for US companies to engage with Korea on key trade matters.
Building upon a previous closed-door session in August 2025, the event convened approximately 110 executives and stakeholders representing leading Korean and US businesses. Participants discussed Seoul’s trade policy and explored avenues for strengthening bilateral relations to promote stability in Korea-US trade.
“We appreciate the continued investment and partnership from US companies, which played a significant role in Korea’s record-breaking foreign investment inflows in 2025,” stated Minister Yeo.
“Seoul is committed to fulfilling its tariff agreement obligations while maintaining open communication with Washington to enhance stability in bilateral trade and foster deeper economic cooperation,” he added.
AmCham Chairman and CEO James Kim acknowledged Minister Yeo’s leadership in tariff negotiations with the US, citing the tangible progress achieved through close collaboration with American counterparts.
“We will continue to support Korea’s efforts and work alongside Minister Yeo to strengthen bilateral trade ties and ensure a predictable and progressive business environment,” said Kim.
AmCham affirmed its commitment to acting as an economic bridge between Korea and the US by facilitating ongoing dialogue and contributing to policies that encourage mutual growth and innovation.
