It was great to meet with Prime Minister Minseok Kim of South Korea as well as Ambassador Kang Kyung-wha. The U.S.-ROK alliance is critically important to NJ and our country, and one we should continue to foster and grow.

In our meeting, we discussed partnerships that grow our economies by building innovation bridges between NJ and South Korea on issues like biotech, and the importance of making sure America's immigration system can create wins for both of our countries.

We also discussed the importance of our security alliance, which is ironclad and core to peace across the Indo-Pacific. I look forward to continuing to support these partnerships which greatly benefit New Jersey and all Americans.
