President Lee Jae-myung will invite and meet with Evan Greenberg, chairman of the U.S.-Korea Business Council and chairman and CEO of Chubb, at Cheong Wa Dae this afternoon (October 15).

President Lee is scheduled to be briefed by Chairman Greenberg on the outcomes of the 36th Joint Conference of the Korea-U.S. Business Council, which was co-hosted by the Federation of Korean Industries and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Discussions are also expected to cover South Korean investments in the United States, following the announcement of specific projects on October 1.

Cheong Wa Dae explained, "They will discuss South Korea-U.S. trade relations and measures to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation," adding, "President Lee plans to call upon the U.S.-Korea Business Council to play an active role in expanding economic cooperation between the two nations."

The U.S.-Korea Business Council operates under the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a consultative body of leaders from major American companies engaged in bilateral economic cooperation, maintaining a partnership with its counterpart, the Korea-U.S. Business Council.
