(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ji-heon Kim = The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that First Vice Minister Park Yoon-joo met with a delegation from the US think tank National Council on Foreign Policy (NCAFP) in Seoul on the 30th.

NCAFP is a New York-based think tank established in 1974 by U.S. academic and government experts for the purpose of supporting the U.S. government in achieving its foreign policy goals. Five members of the delegation, including Chairman Susan Elliott, visited Korea and met with Vice Minister Park.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the NCAFP delegation, as they are well aware of the importance of the ROK-US alliance, will continue to play a necessary role as a bridge between the government, the private sector, and academia for the development of the ROK-US alliance and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the region.
