Commitment to Cooperation Ahead of the 23rd WKBC
Scheduled for Four Days from April 17 to 20

The Korean American Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta-Georgia and the Korean Festival Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the 23rd at the chamber’s office in Duluth.

At the signing ceremony, Han Oh-dong, President of the Atlanta-Georgia Korean American Chamber of Commerce, and Ahn Soon-hae, Chairwoman of the Korean Festival Foundation, signed the agreement as representatives, pledging mutual cooperation. The event was also attended by Kang Shin-beom, Chairman of the Atlanta Chamber, and Lee Michelle, Secretary-General of the KOPE Foundation.

President Han Oh-dong stated, “With the 23rd World Korean Business Convention (WKBC) taking place from April 17 to 20, we recognized the essential role of the KOPE Foundation and decided to establish this partnership.” He added, “This will be one of the largest events in Atlanta, and we hope for strong community support and participation.”

Chairwoman Ahn Soon-hae expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “I am delighted to form this partnership with the Atlanta-Georgia Chamber, one of the most exemplary organizations in our community. Even if it’s a small contribution, we are committed to joining forces to support this event.”

Originally, the inaugural Korean American Business Convention in North America was scheduled to be held in Atlanta in April next year. However, the Office of Overseas Koreans and the Federation of Korean American Chambers of Commerce have decided to upgrade the event to the WKBC level. The convention will be hosted at the Gas South Convention Center in Duluth.
