The United States delegation will be led by Ambassador Bonnie D.

The Republic of Korea delegation will be led by Mr. Cho Hyundong, First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Shin Beomchul, Vice Minister of National Defense.
The EDSCG provides an opportunity for the two governments to discuss peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific. President Joseph R.
