[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 15th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs jointly held the 2nd Korea-US Women's Economic Empowerment Meeting via video conference with the US Department of State.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the US Department of State, the US Embassy in Korea, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and key women entrepreneurs from both Korea and the US.
