[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 23rd, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon met with Robert Rapson, Acting U.S. Ambassador to Korea, and requested continued interest in Korea and Seoul.

Mayor Oh met with Acting Ambassador Rapson at the Seoul City Hall mayor's office and said, "I have heard that you have a deep understanding and affection for Seoul and Korea," adding, "Please continue to show great interest in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea." The position of U.S. Ambassador to Korea has been vacant for three months since the Biden administration took office.

When Mayor Oh asked about Rapson's connection to City Hall and Korea, Rapson said, "I visited the old City Hall building in 1986 with my wife for marriage-related documentation," and congratulated him on his inauguration as mayor of Seoul.

Rapson continued, "Although many significant changes have occurred over the years, one thing that has not changed is the close relationship between Korea and the U.S.," adding, "The close relationship between Seoul City and the Americans living here remains unchanged, and the embassy families live almost like Seoul citizens."
