The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) on Wednesday reaffirmed the economic value of the Korea-United States alliance on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of American independence, while pledging to further strengthen its job platform connecting U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) veterans with Korean companies.
In reaffirming the economic ties between Seoul and Washington, the business organization held the ROK-U.S. Cooperative Event for the USFK Job Platform as part of the U.S. government's Freedom 250 initiative, underscoring the two countries' commitment to deepening economic cooperation.
The initiative is a public-private campaign commemorating the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence and celebrating its founding ideals, including freedom and democracy. KCCI said its USFK Job Platform echoes those values by helping U.S. military veterans build new careers with Korean companies.
