Members of New Beginnings, a nonpartisan study group of former senior U.S. officials, academics and other experts on Korea, traveled to Seoul recently to meet President Lee Myung-bak and his top advisors. On April 14, in advance of the Washington visit of President Lee, members of the study group will make public their recommendations for updating and strengthening the U.S.-Korea alliance. Many of the experts, as well as full copies of their reports will be available at the event.
