On behalf of the Korea Maritime Institute, it gives me a great pleasure to inform you that we would like to invite your institution to an inaugural conference exploring ways for cooperation in the realm of maritime logistics. 

The Korea Maritime Institute is a government-funded research institution affiliated with the Office of the Prime Minister and a key think tank in the field of maritime logistics for the South Korean government. 

Since our establishment in 1984, we have been actively involved in shaping policies and plans related to maritime logistics, shipping, and port development for the Korean government. We have also engaged in collaborative research and cooperation with governments and research institutions of major foreign countries. 

In collaboration with New Jersey City University in the United States, the Korea Maritime Institute established the Center for Supply Chain and Maritime Logistics (CSCML) on June 1st. 

To commemorate this partnership and celebrate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and the United States, we are pleased to announce an inaugural conference aimed at exploring avenues of cooperation in the maritime logistics sector, which serves as a critical infrastructure linking the economies of both nations. 

 - Event Name: 2023 Conference on Maritime Logistics & Supply Chain between RO Korea and the U.S. 

 - Theme: Connecting the World Economy through Maritime Routes (The Hub of World Economic Connected by Sea Roads) 

 - Date: November 8, 2023 at 12:00 PM(EST)

 - Venue: Skyline Hall (2F), School of Business, New Jersey City University Address: 200 Hudson Street, Harborside 2, Jersey City, NJ, 07311, USA

The United States and the Republic of Korea are significant partners not only in economic security but also in the critical field of maritime logistics, which plays a pivotal role in connecting the United States and the Asian economic region.

We anticipate that the importance of a stable supply chain in the maritime logistics sector will only grow looking forward. From this perspective, this conference provides an excellent opportunity to understand the policies in the maritime logistics sector of both the United States and Korea and to explore avenues for mutual benefits.
