A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation will visit Seoul this week for talks with South Korean officials, multiple sources said Saturday. The delegation includes Korean American Rep. Young Kim (R-CA), chair of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific, and Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA). They are expected to pay a courtesy call on President Yoon Suk Yeol and discuss the strengthening of the South Korea-U.S. alliance in light of North Korean provocations. The group of U.S. representatives will also meet with Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul, Defense Minister Shin Won-sik and Unification Minister Kim Yung-ho during their stay. However, the U.S. lawmakers have not scheduled any talks with South Korean politicians or a visit to the National Assembly, given that the parliamentary elections are only weeks away.
