The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea is hosting Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy for a two-day visit to Korea, starting Tuesday.

The visit aligns with AmCham’s ongoing “Buy America” campaign, which promotes the competitiveness of US products and services.

Accompanying the governor are representatives from Glenfarne Group, the lead developer of the Alaska LNG project, and the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation. Earlier in the day, the delegation held discussions on bilateral energy cooperation with Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon and Korea Gas Corporation CEO Choi Yeon-hye.

In upcoming meetings, Gov. Dunleavy is scheduled to meet with key Korean government officials — including acting President Han Duck-soo — as well as executives from major AmCham member companies such as SK Group and Posco Group. Discussions will focus on deepening US-Korea economic cooperation and advancing a strategic partnership.

The meetings will center on areas such as energy, infrastructure and advanced manufacturing, while also supporting Korea’s role as a global business hub.

“We are honored to welcome Governor Dunleavy and his delegation to Korea,” said AmCham Chairman and CEO James Kim. “This visit reflects the strong US-Korea commitment to deeper economic ties. AmCham is proud to support initiatives like ‘Buy America’ and highlight Korea’s role as a key global business partner.”
