Dates: September 12-22, 2023
US Destinations: Washington DC and Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
Korea Destinations: Seoul, Busan, and the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The 2023 Korea-United States Journalists Exchange (KUSJE) took six Korean journalists to visit Washington, DC and Honolulu, Hawaiʻi; and six US journalists to visit Seoul, Busan, and the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea to meet with government and business leaders, academics, non-governmental organizations, media, and other members of the community. This 15th Exchange examined current issues related to US-Korea relations, including the strategic Korea-US military alliance, the state of US-Japan-ROK relations and strategic cooperation, and the continued threat from North Korea. Following these study tours, all of the journalists met for a final dialogue at the East-West Center in Honolulu to report on their travel experiences and perspectives, and exchange opinions on how media coverage of US-Korea issues can be improved.
The 2023 Korea-US Journalists Exchange is funded by the East-West Center, Korea Press Foundation, and Pacific Century Institute.
