This afternoon, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) met with Her Excellency Kang Kyung-wha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, to discuss the importance of the U.S.-South Korea alliance, including strengthening the economic partnership and their shared concern over the urgent threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. 

NOTE: Last month, Chairman Royce led a bipartisan delegation to South Korea to advocate for peace, stability, and economic growth.  Chairman Royce is the author of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (H.R. 3364) and the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (H.R. 757), the most sweeping sanctions legislation against North Korea.
