○ Governor Kim to visit the U.S. for 5 nights and 7 days from October 26 to November 1
○ Efforts for investment attraction continue, including signing an investment agreement with one global company and investment consultations with two others
○ Expanding Gyeonggi Province’s diplomatic outreach and strengthening international cooperation through participation in the “Think Tank Conference”

A delegation from Gyeonggi Province, led by Governor Dong Yeon Kim, will visit Boston and Washington, D.C., from October 26 to November 1 for five nights and seven days to attract foreign investment and expand the province’s global diplomatic network.

This trip marks Governor Kim’s fifth visit to the United States, following continued efforts to attract global corporate investment, expand Gyeonggi’s economic territory, build innovation alliances, create opportunities for young adults, and engage in tariff negotiations. During this trip, Governor Kim plans to advance active diplomacy and investment attraction initiatives.

In Boston, he will be greeted by young Korean talents—including entrepreneurs from the World Federation of Overseas Korean Economic and Trade Associations who are leading next-generation businesses, as well as Korean-American scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs in biology, AI, and climate technology sectors—to discuss potential avenues for exchange and cooperation with Gyeonggi Province.

He will also sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on investment with Company E and hold investment consultations with Companies A and S to encourage direct investment decisions in Gyeonggi Province, continuing his drive to achieve the KRW 100 trillion investment goal within his term.

In Washington, D.C., Governor Kim will attend the Think Tank Conference, co-hosted by the Center for the National Interest (CNI), the Korean Association for Policy Studies, and the Gyeonggi Research Institute, where he is set to deliver a keynote speech titled “Gyeonggi Province: The Engine Driving the Korea-U.S. Alliance.” The conference will serve as a forum for in-depth discussions with major U.S. think tanks and academic scholars on global issues, covering response strategies to U.S. tariffs, inter-Korean relations, AI, the bio industry, and more.

In particular, Governor Kim plans to meet with Scott Snyder, President and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute of America, and key members of the U.S. Congress to discuss means to strengthen the Korea-U.S. alliance, taking this visit as an opportunity to broaden the scope of Gyeonggi Province’s local diplomacy.
