On the afternoon of the 18th, President Yoon Suk-yeol met with Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia, USA, at the Yongsan Presidential Office and requested support for Korean electric vehicle and battery companies operating in Georgia.

The Presidential Office stated that during the meeting with Governor Kemp, President Yoon exchanged views on cooperation between Korea and the state of Georgia and the development direction of the Korea-US alliance.

President Yoon highly appreciated Governor Kemp's active contributions to the development of bilateral relations, including receiving the 'Van Fleet Award' last year for his efforts to promote economic cooperation between Georgia and Korea.

The Van Fleet Award is presented annually by the Korea Society since 1992 to individuals or organizations that have contributed to Korea-US relations, in honor of General Van Fleet, who served as the commander of the US Eighth Army during the Korean War.

President Yoon asked Governor Kemp to support Korean companies operating in Georgia in fields such as electric vehicles and batteries so that they can operate in a friendly environment and contribute to mutually beneficial development between Korea and Georgia.

He also requested Governor Kemp's attention and support so that about 100,000 Korean residents living in Georgia can contribute to the development of the state as members of the local community.

According to the Presidential Office, Governor Kemp responded that under President Yoon's leadership, the Korea-US alliance is developing strongly, and that Korean companies and the Korean community are indispensable assets to Georgia's development.

He also stated that as governor, he will spare no effort to further expand cooperation between Korea and Georgia and Korea-US relations in various fields such as economy, human exchange, and culture.
