[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] President Yoon Suk-yeol is scheduled to meet with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, who is visiting Korea on the 29th, to discuss ways to strengthen Korea-U.S. relations, the presidential office announced on the 8th.


At this meeting, the two leaders are expected to exchange views on mutual interests such as North Korea issues, economic security, and major regional and international affairs. In particular, there is a possibility that the issue of discrimination against Korean electric vehicles under the Inflation Reduction Act will also be discussed.



The presidential office explained, "Vice President Harris's visit marks about four months since President Biden's official visit to Korea in May and is the first visit by a U.S. vice president in four and a half years since 2018," adding, "This reflects the strong will of both governments to strengthen the Korea-U.S. alliance since the launch of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration."
