The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) hosted a talk in Seoul by South Korea’s ambassador to the U.S., Young-jin Choi, on the topic of “21st Century and Trade Paradigm.” In his speech, as well as in answers to questions from the audience, Choi offered many interesting insights into North Korea, the South Korea-U.S. alliance, and a great number of other issues having a vital impact on the Korean Peninsula. Since taking up his current position, Choi has only been back to South Korea twice, and it was during one of these visits that he gave today’s AMCHAM talk.
