The Korea Times will host a Korea-U.S. alliance forum on Oct. 26 at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) building in Seoul.

Under the topic of "New Challenges for Korea-U.S. Alliance," leading experts in the areas of economic security and Korea-U.S. alliance in the Indo-Pacific region will present their ideas about global supply chain disruptions after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula in the wake of North Korea's test-firings of nuclear-capable missiles and other military provocations.
