This seminar, organized by U.S. and ROK business organizations, will be designed to voice a unified message to the governments and business communities of both countries. The seminar will be a forum for discussions on what the governments’ original intentions were when conceiving the agreement, how the processes of negotiation and implementation affected the initial aims as well as on what the future prospects of the agreement will be.
