Tennessee World Affairs Council

Last week, the Tennesse World Affairs Council, in partnership with The Stimson Center, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, hosted an insightful panel discussion on the economic and cultural ties between the U.S. and South Korea. Experts from various fields shared their perspectives on how these two nations are building stronger trade, technology, and #culturalexchange partnerships. Key takeaways included the importance of innovation, mutual understanding, and the role of local communities in fostering international relationships. A big thank you to our panelists and everyone who attended—we're proud to bring global conversations to Tennessee! Stay tuned for more events this fall that connect our community to the world. #southkorea #tnwac #globaldialogue #culturalexchange #internationalrelations SL Tennessee - Korea Defense Veterans Association - Liane Hentschke Photo credit: Danielle Walters, PhD
