Committee Member of the 2025 APEC CEO Summit Organizing Committee, I look
forward to working closely with Gov. Lee and the Korean Government to
facilitate meaningful dialogue between global business leaders and
policymakers."

invaluable opportunity for the province to expand cooperation with global
