Participants for the event exchanged ideas on how to deepen bilateral business cooperation. The U.S. business leaders particularly underscored the importance of deregulation for Korea to attract more U.S. firms to establish their regional headquarters here. AMCHAM said there were also discussions on the necessity of expanding the visa quota for employees of Korean companies dispatched to the U.S. The chamber did not disclose further details, but added that Landau reaffirmed the U.S. government's commitment to reciprocal economic partnership.
