Continued Dialogue for Prosperity

This is the second Trilateral Executive Dialogue following an initial discussion in San Francisco last year. The ongoing dialogue aims to protect economic prosperity and international security while upholding shared values among Korea, the U.S., and Japan.

Bill Hagerty expressed his excitement about participating in this year's TED event. He stated before the event: "I am excited to participate in the second annual Trilateral Economic Dialogue (TED) in Seoul on September 4th that will bring together private and public sector leaders from the U.S., Japan, and the Republic of Korea."

Cultural Exchange Opportunities

The Group plans to offer attendees a chance to experience traditional Korean culture during their visit. This includes Korean food, traditional music, Hanok (traditional Korean houses), and showcasing their premium brand Genesis.

The event is co-hosted by five influential think tanks: Woodrow Wilson Center, Hudson Institute, 21st Century Policy Institute, Indo-Pacific Forum, and East Asia Foundation. These organisations support TED's purpose by fostering cooperation among political and business leaders.

Euisun Chung's leadership has been acknowledged by Bill Hagerty for sponsoring this significant dialogue. The Group's sponsorship underscores its commitment to facilitating collaboration between these nations.

The Hyundai Motor Group supports TED's objectives as a leading global mobility company. Their involvement highlights their dedication to promoting private-government cooperation among South Korea, Japan, and the United States.

The continued dialogue between these nations is seen as crucial for safeguarding economic prosperity and international security while reinforcing shared values.
