@GovBillLee, Deputy Governor/
@CommishTNECD Stuart C. McWhorter and
@SenatorHagerty met with Her Excellency Kyung-wha Kang,
@RokEmbDC Ambassador, earlier today to discuss strengthening Tennesseeโs longstanding partnership with South Korea.
The conversation focused on supporting Korean companies and investment, accelerating U.S.-Korea cooperation in the nuclear sector and expanding Korean studies and cultural exchange opportunities.
Since 2019, South Korea has emerged as Tennesseeโs No. 1 foreign direct investment partner for jobs and capital investment, with Korean companies committing to create 6,600 job commitments and invest over $14 billion in capital statewide.
