I would like to extend my deepest congratulations to all the members of the Asia Society Korea Center as you mark the 2nd anniversary here in Korea.
From its very inception in 2008, the Asia Society Korea Center has played a significant role in bringing Korea, the United States and the Asia-Pacific region closer together.
The Asia Society Korea Center has deepened mutual understanding in the region and has demonstrated the remarkable benefits of Asian-American partnership by increasing dialogue, encouraging cross-cultural expression, and promoting new ideas in education, business, policy, and the arts.
I especially applaud the Korea Center’s leadership in education. You have been successfully fostering young global leaders in the Asian-American community, providing a platform to share thoughts and produce future visions.
Once again, I congratulate the Asia Society Korea Center embarking on its third year and wish you the best of success in many years to come.
Congratulations!
