On July 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging Sue Mi Terry with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The indictment alleges activities that took place, in part, during a period in which Ms. Terry was employed by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. CSIS is not a party to this litigation and takes the allegations seriously. CSIS maintains strict policies to ensure full compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the intellectual independence of its scholarship. In light of these serious allegations, CSIS cannot verify the independence of the scholarship of this material containing the views of Ms. Terry and has therefore archived a portion of this event pending the resolution of the charges.
Please join us virtually for the 8th annual ROK-U.S. Strategic Forum, our premier international forum that brings together officials, policymakers, and experts to discuss issues important to the U.S.-ROK alliance.
This year is the 70th anniversary of the U.S.-ROK alliance. Experts, scholars and officials will join us for a timely discussion on issues critical to U.S.-Korea relations, including the new frontiers of the alliance for the next 70 years, a new era of cooperation and strategic alignment for the U.S.-Korea-Japan trilateral relationship, and perennial challenges and future outcomes for North Korea.
Please note that in-person attendance is by invitation only.
