Ossoff Leads Second Economic Delegation to Attract More Korean Investment to Georgia<\/strong>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Seoul, South Korea<\/strong> \u2014 U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is continuing his work to bring more Korean investment and create jobs in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Sen. Ossoff led a second economic delegation to Seoul to continue pushing for additional Korean investment in Georgia and establishing Georgia as the advanced manufacturing hub in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff\u2019s first successful economic delegation to Korea in November 2021 yielded economic results for Georgia families. In 2022 alone, following his trip, Hyundai, Hanwha Qcells, and SK invested over $8 billion in Georgia, creating over 10,000 jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis week, I returned to South Korea to continue pitching Georgia to our Korean partners,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong> \u201cI met with Korean business leaders to identify new opportunities to create jobs and opportunities for Georgians. I will continue working to identify partners for trade and investment that will benefit our state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Senator Ossoff met again with Executives at Hyundai Motor Group, SK, Hanwha, LG, Samsung, and more, to attract further investment and create more economic opportunities for Georgia families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff also held a high-level meeting with Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol and top Korean national security leadership. Covering a wide range of regional and global issues, Sen. Ossoff and President Yoon discussed upcoming opportunities to deepen trade and investment between Korea and the State of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting came weeks before President Yoon will travel to Washington, D.C., for an Official State Visit with President Biden. Earlier this year, Sen. Ossoff successfully called <\/a>on<\/a>President Biden to invite President Yoon for a State Visit to mark the 70th anniversary of the US-Korea alliance, and he also led a successful bipartisan group of U.S. Senators <\/a>encouraging Speaker Kevin McCarthy to invite President Yoon to deliver a joint address to Congress later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
