A high -ranking US diplomat has expressed regret in relation to an immigration attack in Georgia, which imprisoned numerous South Korean workers, which indicates that the event as a catalyst for strengthening relationships between the USA and South Korea could serve. According to the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this feeling was reproduced during a meeting in Seoul.
The first deputy Foreign Minister Park Yoon-Joo asked the deputy foreign minister Christopher Landau to initiate discussions about subsequent measures, in particular a new visa category, which corresponds to the interest of President Trump in the case. Trump's earlier proposal that the detained Koreans could remain in the United States reflects the growing communication.
Landau emphasized the need for accelerated consultations to ensure suitable visas for Korean employees and to recognize their important role in strengthening US production. The incident underlines the importance of clear visa guidelines under considerable Korean investments in US business companies.
