| Description | EAST LANSING - The South Korean ambassador to the United States stressed the importance of passing a Korea-U.S. free trade agreement during his visit to Lansing on Thursday.
"The Korea-U.S. free trade agreement offers one of the best opportunities to create U.S. jobs by providing new export opportunities for American manufacturers, farmers and small- and medium-sized companies," Ambassador Han Duk-soo said.
The ambassador spoke to nearly 100 people at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center at Michigan State University. The event was hosted by the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Global Business Club of Mid-Michigan.
His speech focused largely on the trade pact, which President George W. Bush signed in 2007, but has not been approved by Congress.
Dave Regan, president of Lansing-based Plas-Labs Inc., said he supports the agreement, which would eliminate the 8 percent tariff on scientific research equipment he exports to South Korea. |
