Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is embarking on a 10-day trip to South Korea to strengthen economic ties between the state and the Asian nation. The delegation, consisting of lawmakers and economic recruiters, will meet with South Korean businesses already operating in Georgia and seek potential opportunities for new partnerships. While in South Korea, Kemp plans to hold meetings with companies such as LG Group, SK Group, Hanwha Qcells, and CJ Foodville, who have investments in various industries in Georgia.
The trip, Kemp’s sixth overseas visit as governor, aims to further solidify Georgia’s position as a hub for international business and trade. The delegation will participate in a reception with Hyundai Motor Group to honor the longstanding partnership between the two entities.
Kemp’s previous overseas trips include visits to Germany, Israel, the nation of Georgia, and France. His efforts to engage with global businesses have led to significant investments in Georgia, such as Hyundai’s automotive assembly complex and LG Group’s electric vehicle battery plant. The cost of the current trip is not immediately available, but the focus remains on fostering economic growth and attracting foreign investment to Georgia.
