A Dialogue for Korea - Japan Business and Community Cooperation with the Korean Chamber of Commerce (KOCHAM)

Published on April 30, 2025



Following the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, JCCI NY partook in a dialogue with representatives from the Korea Chamber of Commerce (KOCHAM) to further strengthen the longstanding partnership between the two countries in the greater New York area. Special remarks were given by Mr. Euywhan Kim, Consul General of Korea in New York, followed by remarks by Mr. Hidetoshi Takeda, President of Dailysun NY, and Mr. Yoon Joung, President of Samsung Electronics North America.

The dialogue was a step to reinforce the concurrent diplomatic relations to the business and day-to-day communities. There is much to be explored between the two organizations, from business collaborations (an innovative smart house in the U.S.), to regular information sharing to better protect our communities (students, expats), to casual gatherings and outings.

The meeting was attended by JCCI representatives Mr. Tetsuo Kawate, President of JCCI (President & CEO, Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas)); Mr. Naoshi Hirose (President and CEO, Marubeni Corporation America); Mr. Masaaki Maeda (Vice President, JCCI NY); Mr. Satoshi Oishi (President & CEO, KDDI America, Inc.; and Mr. Yoshiyuki Uemura (President, Daikin U.S. Corporation).
