The East-West Center in Washington (EWCW) offered a year-long, collaborative policy research and exchange program, generously sponsored by the Korea Foundation, for three established scholars, one each from Korea, Southeast Asia, and the United States, respectively. The three selected researchers assessed how their respective countries are collaborating to bolster US-ROK cooperation in Southeast Asia in the areas of trade, investment, and in supporting multilateral efforts in the region, including in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
