Case meets in D.C. with Republic of Korea Ambassador to United States
They discuss free trade, visa waiver program, and family reunification
Washington, D.C. - Congressman Ed Case today said free trade, the visa waiver program, and family reunification between Korean-Americans and North Korea were among the issues he discussed today during a meeting in Washington, D.C. with Republic of Korea Ambassador to the United States Lee Tae-Sik.

Case said he also discussed with Lee the Saemsori Project, an effort by the nonprofit Eugene Bell Foundation to facilitate the reunification of Korean-Americans in Hawaii and across the country with relatives still in North Korea which has had its borders closed since 1950.
"The Ambassador told me that his country's efforts to reunite families with relatives in North Korea, largely on a case-by-case basis, have met with some success because they have made the proper contacts in North Korea. This may indicate that North Korea is open to discussing this issue with the Saemsori Project, which gives us hope for future family reunions between Korean-Americans and relatives in North Korea." Case is on record with other members of Congress in advocating for increased attention by our country to this longstanding issue with North Korea.
